By now, most fans will have watched Sex Education, season two, with its awkward, myth-busting tales of sex toys, threesomes and first times. There’s even a frenzied outbreak of chlamydia, where students unwittingly wear facemask to ‘protect’ themselves from the sexually transmitted disease. But amidst the laughter and absurd storylines, this season explores a really profound and revelatory tale of sexual assault.
Yet even though the situation is dealt with on a practical level, Amy is constantly haunted by the image of her attacker. She sees his face wherever she goes: at a party, in a crowd, leering at her on the backseat of the bus. Her PTSD leaves her with no option but to walk to school instead. After revealing her internal struggle to her friends, they decide to ride the bus with her. It is a touching and incredibly moving scene, which shows the power of female friendship.
I was petrified that the man could come back at any time... I felt physically sick and horribly vulnerable. What hurt me most about this experience was that, unlike Aimee, I didn't feel I was given the space to feel upset. Some of my friends appeared to find it largely funny, teasing that it was my own fault for wearing ‘revealing’ shorts in a Muslim country. They might have themselves been feeling overwhelmed but for a long time, I believed them; I felt guilty, ashamed and disrespectful.
