Does hooking up on Tinder make a person more vulnerable to sexual assault? Do the rape scenes in the HBO series “Game Of Thrones” contribute to a culture that makes people more vulnerable to rape? Are expectant parents holding “gender reveal parties” part of the problem? Do those blue lights with call boxes found on college campuses make people any safer from sexual assault? These are tough questions and Patricia Teffenhart, Executive Director of the NJ Coalition Against Sexual Assault, gives us her answers in this episode. Teffenhart also talks about why, during this Sexual Assault Awareness Month, she is trying to continue the recent momentum of heightened public awareness of the problem, thanks in part to films like Spotlight, The Hunting Ground and Lady Gaga’s performance on the Academy Awards. She explains that while her message may be simple – which is, we must all be a part of the solution to eliminate sexual assault, changing the way people think about sexual assault is not.
