This roundtable brings together international experts to reflect on the politics of speaking out about sexual violence in the contemporary era. The post-#MeToo environment has led to a shift in how survivors of sexual violence speak out in a variety of forums, as well as how audiences engage with and respond to their stories. While survivors speaking out about sexual violence is not a new phenomenon or attribute of feminist activism, in recent times there has been a significant shift in the number and nature of survivors speaking out about sexual violence driven by changes in digital communications and political discourse. In some contexts, recent survivor speech has led to rape and sexual offences law reform inquiries, as well as policy changes in relation to consent in sexual relationships. In this roundtable, panellists will draw on their specific expertise to reflect on the contemporary politics governing how survivors speaking out are listened to, under what conditions, and to what effect. Topics canvassed will include the phenomenon of the “public survivor”, anonymity in speaking out, the figure of the 'wounded survivor' in feminist politics, anti-rape influencers, the practice of ‘speaking out’ through popular music, the limitations of law and policy reform as a signifier of change, and alternative justice mechanisms to addressing sexual violence in our communities. Participants will also offer reflections on some of the ethical and methodological challenges of working in this area.
