Скачать или смотреть Survivors Know Their Danger First — Here’s Why We Must Listen

Even when abuse is visible, survivors are still too often dismissed, minimized, or told their fear is an exaggeration.

And as author Jo Scott-Coe explains in this conversation on M.E.S.H. with Dr. Pamela Brewer, that dismissal can be dangerous.

She shares the story of Mildred Muhammad, whose warnings before the DC sniper attacks were downplayed—despite her accurately sensing the danger moving closer. 

The lesson is clear:
The expertise of survivors must be central.
They often understand their danger long before anyone else does—though they may not appear confident, especially after years of being conditioned to doubt their own instincts.

She encourages us to make it our responsibility to be more curious, more attentive, and more willing to listen.

Because these are the moments when it matters most to believe them.
