First speaker of Panel Ten: Sophie Bantle, discussing ‘Ripper Street’, which focuses on ‘one of the most famous crimes in history’. It is a counter narrative to the Ripper myth, which focuses on humanising the victims and asks the audience to sympathise with the girls.

[BGU English @BGUEnglish]

Marginalised citizens are not just represented as victims but as people who stand up for themselves and reaffirms their identities by allowing them a place in society.

[BGU English @BGUEnglish]

Wealth and status of those in power means that crimes against women were covered up.

Victims that survive are given a a voice to accuse and confront their abusers directly allowing them to reclaim power and energy.

[BGU English @BGUEnglish]

Sex workers are not viewed through the male gaze, but given an evoking back story which attracts sympathy.
