Stephanie Linus Unveils Short Film “Bad Police” Addresses the Worrying Trend of Victim-Blaming in Sexual Assault Cases

#jaiyeorie Stephanie Linus is tackling this in her newest short film, “Bad Police,” which she created and scripted with Adeola Adeyemo. The short film tells the story of a teenage victim of sexual violence who goes to the police to seek justice, but her journey takes a different turn when she encounters a group of police officers who make her feel like the offender rather than the victim. The film stars Ife Alakija, Samuel Abah, Tomie Ajiboye among others. “This video captures the experiences of some victims whose attempts to report their cases were not treated with empathy, professionalism, and discretion,” according to the YouTube description. “Sexual assault is notoriously underreported in Nigeria and there is an urgent need to discuss and rectify these issues. It is my hope that this message gets the attention of the right authorities and that we all make adjustments where necessary to create a safer society.” Linus’ production ‘Bad Police’ is part of UNFPA’s campaign against sexual and gender-based crime. 📎 COMMENTS 👀 ☝️👆👈👉✍️🤳 DROP YOUR OPINIONS
