Catriona talks to Nyala Moon about being raped by a man she was dating, who attempted to force her into sex work.

Catriona talks to Nyala Moon about being raped by a man she was dating, who attempted to force her into sex work.

Nyala is a trans woman and she started transitioning when she was a teenager. She talks about how the prejudice that trans people often face stopped her from reporting the incident to the authorities, or even telling friends what had happened.

She also talks about a separate incident, when she was assaulted by an intimate partner, and why she used this narrative to produce a film about sexual abuse.

This first part contains details that many listeners may find distressing, so if you鈥檙e not in a place to listen to something like that right now, you can go to part two where Catriona talks to Nyala about how she鈥檚 doing now.

If you've been affected by sexual abuse or violence, you can find details of organisations in the UK who offer help and support at bbc.co.uk/actionline.

Presented by Catriona Morton, After is a 10-part series, featuring discussions between survivors of sexual abuse and assault about what happened to them and how they cope now.

Produced by Danielle Stephens. The Executive Producers are Clare Chadburn and Nick Minter. It is a Wisebuddah production for 麻豆约拍 Sounds.
