The podcast episodes discuss how Evelyn Yang's public revelation of her sexual assault by a Columbia University OB-GYN, Robert Hadden, was a pivotal moment that sparked a federal investigation and greater attention to the issue.

Evelyn Yang's decision to speak out was inspired by the bravery of other survivors, like Lori Kanyock and Marissa Hochstetter, who had previously come forward with their own experiences of being assaulted by Hadden. The episodes examine how such public disclosures can bring much-needed awareness to systemic failures and power imbalances that enabled the abuse to continue.

By publicly sharing their stories, the survivors aimed to seek justice, hold institutions accountable, and inspire other victims to come forward, ultimately leading to broader societal change.
