Rape Myths | Pavan Amara | TEDxUCLWomen

Perhaps it’s time for you reconsider what you think you already know about rape? Pavan talks about the common misconceptions surrounding rape and how women sharing their stories has the power to make real change within communities. Founding the ‘My Body Back Project,’ which started the first cervical cancer screening clinic in the UK for survivors of sexual violence is testament to this.

Pavan Amara is a nurse and journalist who founded the ‘My Body Back Project’ which supports women who have experienced sexual violence. For more information you can go to www.mybodybackproject.com
