Sexual Assault Advocate Grace Tame Explains Why It's Important To Have Those Difficult Conversations

Jimmy & Nath recently spoke with Tasmanian of the Year, 25 year-old Grace Tame who is a national advocate for survivors of sexual assault and is the first Tasmanian woman to win the right to go public with her story and to self-identify as a rape survivor. 

The boys spoke with Grace about her story, elaborating on what exactly grooming is and why it's important for people to identify the signs. 

Grace discussed why it's important for victims to be able to share their own stories, the current bill the Victorian Government is trying to pass condemning the naming of murdered sexual assault victims and why we should be discussing these issues and instigating difficult conversations with the people around us.
