This Is What Brittany Higgins Wants You to Understand About Sexual Assault

View descriptionShare

Yesterday, the Federal Court dismissed Bruce Lehrmann’s appeal, upholding the ruling that found he had raped Brittany Higgins in 2019. Today, Brittany Higgins’ voice feels louder than ever.

In this week’s episode of You’re Gonna Want To Hear This, Brittany sits down with editor Georgie McCourt for one of the most open and unguarded conversations she has ever had. She speaks about the trauma of being believed so rarely in a system built to doubt women, the female networks that held her together, the online abuse and deepfakes that threatened to break her, and the year in rural France that she says “saved [her] life.”

Brittany talks frankly about fear, fury, grief, exile, healing and hope - and asks the question Australia keeps avoiding: What kind of country are we, if this is the best we can do for survivors?

A powerful, essential episode on gendered violence, digital safety, rebuilding after trauma and the women who make a seat at the table for one another.
