While I couldn't bring myself to read the whole article, I am amazed that this kind of thing is being written about. It describes my experience at Monash Clayton to a T. (the part about being raped over and over and having the authorities laugh you off and then having to move interstate as a direct result of being terrorised, that is)

That article is truly sickening, but I'm so glad it's being written about as well. And lanley... I'm so sorry. *hugs*.

thanks mate, it's good to finally be out of melbourne.
I didn't know where else to put this, but I was thinking that maybe there could be a section on this website where people can specifically discuss sexual assault/rape (not necessarily in a uni context)? Also, there could be a 'suggestions' section for suggestions like the one I just made, hehe. (self-referential suggestions...)

That's a great idea - I'll put it to Vittoria.
