[Domestic Violence issues]

While most domestic and sexual violence offenders don't have the resources to do what Mr. Weinstein has done in his attempt to silence both the victims and journalists reporting on his actions, we often see, in the cases that do come before us, similar types of attempts at manipulation, coercion, and threats to keep quiet "or else."

There are too many obstacles that deter victims from disclosing abuse. This is a brilliant piece of reporting that really highlights, on an extreme level, the barriers and challenges that victims face when they choose to come forward and report the abuse that has been done to them.
