Using the right words
Join Jenn and Karmen as they discuss how to appropriately use language around those who commit harm. Terms such as assailant, predator, and rapist, are valid terms in describing people who have assaulted people, who have intentionally preyed upon multiple victims and those who have raped others. However, we want to ensure these terms are used in ways that are healing, impactful to survivors and also ensure we are not misusing or inflaming language that will then do harm to others.
