Notes on this Episode:
In this podcast we use the term “female-identifying”, however, sometimes we do just say the word “women”, by which we mean it inclusively as anyone who identifies as female. We will continue to do our best throughout this podcast series to use the proper terminology and educate ourselves as preferred syntax continues to evolve.
If you or someone you love is a survivor of crime please go to victimsofcrime.org for help, or, for information if you are a survivor of sexual assault please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline Call 1-800-656-4673
For more information on the organizations that Anna Kendrick donated her director’s pay to for this film, please go to: RAINN at rainn.org and National Center for Victims of Violent Crime at victimsofcrime.org
