For a victim of abuse, proving that the act was committed with threat, aggression and coercion is
a further act of violence. Those who have to justify every detail experience this as questioning or guilt. Current laws seem not to be on the side of the victim, but to support the interest of the aggressor. The structure of the criminal code in fact helps the perpetrator and in the meantime counteracts the child.
With
Two Monsters in my Story, Face à l’inceste highlights the problem and sets up a
fundraising campaign to change things. The association calls for three things: the proper qualification and punishment of an incestuous sexual act without a declaration of consent, the classification of this as a pedocriminal offense without the criteria of threat, violence, or coercion, and the abolition of the statute of limitations for a sexual crime.
Eilidh Reid on her squidgy, fun and humorous animations
Our New Talent series highlights visual creatives who are sharing great work on Facebook and Instagram. Here, designer and animator Eilidh Reid shares her journey so far
According to Eilidh Reid, her career to date has been a series of serendipitous opportunities and unexpected wins.
After four years of multidisciplinary experimentation at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, her confidence was dealt a blow. An external examiner derided her portfolio as ‘too broad’ and said no one would ever hire her.
“I was so worried,” she admits. Although she’d been keen to avoid a move from Scotland to London, she took a punt and attended D&AD New Blood with her classmates.
