Masks are supposed to decrease the spread of COVID-19, but for some survivors of sexual assault, the mandatory mask rules rolling out across Canada are making them feel decidedly less safe.
Do you know what i was only thinking today that there should be an article about this. I dread to think the numbers of people we'd be dealing with in terms of abuse and what this mask does to them. So sad. That's why if i am brave enough I will say something like this as many women have been subjected to some sort of abuse anyway so it would probably affect nearly all the female population and plenty of males anyway. The child abuse victims too must find this so sick.
I didn't mean my comment to be flippant either, just makes me so angry that people dare to ask you when they have no idea what any of us have been through.
