Jenny Evans talks to Samira Ahmed

Jenny Evans shares how she took on the establishment to fight for justice in this compelling conversation with BBC broadcaster Samira Ahmed. Cast in a cult film at the age of 18, Evans was on the cusp of something extraordinary; a future of promise. But the new world she was exploring crumbled around her when she was assaulted at a party by a high-profile figure.

Evans reported this crime to the police, but shortly after, details of her report were printed in a tabloid. To find out how this happened, she trained as a journalist herself, fighting back against the systems that caused her harm, and helping expose the ‘phone-hacking scandal’. Evans, now training as a lawyer, speaks about her fight for justice in a system that so horrifically fails its victims. Her book Don’t Let it Break You, Honey is an engrossing account of power – who holds it, who wields it, who is silenced in the process.
