I recently read the book Armies of Enablers: Survivor Stories of Complicity and Betrayal in Sexual Assaults by Professor Amos Guiora. Professor Guiora teaches law at the University of Utah. Armies of Enablers encompasses his extensive research on institutional complicity, enabling culture, and sexual assaults.
What I loved the most about this book is that it was written from the perspective of the survivors of sexual assault.
I was elated when Professor Guiora agreed to be a guest on Cheer Incorporated. Because after reading his book and learning about his groundbreaking research, I strongly believe he may have found that common factor — or maybe more aptly the fatal flaw– that we are missing as a society to better protect our child athletes. He may have found the “why” - which is the key to finally stopping the cycle of abuse. Or at least slowing it down.
