This week, we take a deep dive into one of the most disturbing and critical issues facing our world today: the mass rape of women and girls. We highlight horrific cases, including the trial of 51 men for the abuse of Gisèle Pelicot in France last year, and the appalling systemic use of sexual violence in war, which continues today in conflict zones like Sudan. We explore the challenges faced by survivors in seeking justice, the cultural barriers that perpetuate the violence, and the urgent need for education and legal reforms worldwide. This episode aims to heighten awareness and support for women and girls who've faced trauma from such violence, reminding us of the power of collective intention in making an impact. As always, we explore where we may hold intentions and prayers, and invite you join you to join us in sharing this. See below for the contact information of help services offered to victims of rape. Please note that some listeners may find the topic covered in this episode disturbing. Our intention holding and prayers starts at 20 minutes 7 seconds.
