Tokyo, 2016: One night, just as they were returning home from a long day, best friends Jiang Ge & Liu Xin suddenly found themselves being chased by Liu Xin’s stalker ex-boyfriend, Chen Shifeng.But only 1 of the 2 girls would make it into the flat, safely away from him, while the other would find herself locked outside, trapped. Afterwards, the surviving friend who’d made it safely inside was treated as China’s public enemy number 1. To the point she’d be forced into a tearful televised interrogation…but maybe though a victim herself, there were reasons for people’s anger. Maybe she and her words weren't all as they seemed…Resources:The Suzy Lamplugh Trust - https://www.suzylamplugh.orghttps://linktr.ee/eleanornealeresourcesWatch OUTLORE Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@EleanorNealeFollow Me Here for Updates & Short Form Content:InstagramTikTok

The ‘Corrective Rape’ & Murder of a Lesbian Hero
South Africa, 2008: Eudy Simelane was a Football hero. One of the first openly gay players to ever play on the national team, born and raised in the township of Kwa-Thema. She was changing the game - quite literally. She was a vocal gay rights activist and dedicated hours to Aid work. But aged 31, her life was brutally and tragically taken from her. And what followed, was a long and hard fight for justice, in a legal system where gay people barely ever stood a chance. And in a world, where so-called “corrective-rape” is a national emergency.Resources:The Triangle Project - https://triangle.org.za/about-us/https://linktr.ee/eleanornealeresourcesWatch OUTLORE Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@EleanorNealeFollow Me Here for Updates & Short Form Content:InstagramTikTok
