Trauma Journalism
Rape culture refers to a society's environment that normalizes, trivializes, and excuses sexual violence and assault. It perpetuates harmful attitudes, beliefs, and practices that can lead to the victimization of individuals, particularly women, and creates an atmosphere where such acts are tolerated rather than condemned. This cultural backdrop significantly influences how sexual assault and domestic violence cases are investigated and reported.
