In his new book, ‘Armies of Enablers: Survivor Stories of Complicity and Betrayal in Sexual Assaults’, Prof. Amos Guiora assembled the stories of sexual assault survivors from USA Gymnastics, Michigan State, Penn State and Ohio State among others, with a particular focus on how institutions and individuals allowed the abuse to happen.
In this webinar, Prof. Guiora will share his learnings from personal interviews with survivors to discuss power imbalances between athletes and those in a position to protect them, institutionalized ignorance, and how power structures protect themselves.
“Behind every high-profile sexual assault scandal, there’s an army of people whose decisions helped perpetuate the abuse,” he notes.
