Why don’t men speak out about sexual assault?

A second look at the sexual assault crisis in private schools and why we don’t hear men’s voices in the discussions about toxic masculinity.

We’re joined by Louis, a 19-year-old former school leader who left school in 2019. He sheds light on what’s going on in schools right now. Rob Sturrock, author of the book Man Raises Boy, talks about the conversations we need to have.

A crisis is a culture needing change. Could 2021 and the recent private school expose bring much-needed generational change?
