'As inspiring as it is enraging, Emily Hunt turns trauma into
action, exposing a criminal justice system that fails women, and a
culture that enables violence against us. A rallying call for
change, and a powerful lesson in perseverance from a woman who
would not give up.' The Guardian Emily was in a
restaurant, having lunch with her father – the next thing she
remembers is waking up, naked, in a strange hotel room, next to a
man she did not know. She suspected she had been drugged, raped and
later found out she had been filmed without her consent. What
happened to her that night could have happened to anyone. What came
next happens to far too many victims, as failures by the police,
CPS and other parts of the system, led to Emily doubting she would
ever find justice. Six years after her attack, Emily is an
adviser to the UK Government on sexual violence. Part memoir and
part investigation, We Need To Talk looks at how rape is a
mainstream, everyday problem deeply damaging victims, their
families, their workplaces and the economy. This is a conversation
starter about why we don’t talk about rape; that the only cause
of rape is rapists, not rape victims; who commits rape and why; the
reasons why society defaults to blaming the victim; and ultimately
how we need to change and humanise the way we talk
about rape in order to truly hear and support victims
and end the current epidemic of sexual violence.Â
