Every time a woman does not report what happened to her, someone asks why. The answer is not simple, not comfortable, and not something that reflects on her. It reflects on the systems, the cultures, and the rooms full of people who made it clear, long before she ever had to decide, that her account would be questioned, minimised, or used against her. This is an honest and unflinching look at the real reasons women stay silent, written without judgment for every woman who made that calculation and chose to protect herself instead.
