Thank you, yeah I think I may be overindexing on a few public examples (not being privy to the private examples that you and others in thread have brought up). Glad to hear that there are plenty of examples of the community responding well to protect victims/survivors.
I still also don’t think everything’s fine, but unsure to what extent EA is worse than the rest of the world, where things are also not fine on this front.
I wonder if it would be helpful to have some kind of (heavily anonymized, e.g. summarizing across years) summary statistics about the number of such incidents brought up to CEA community health (since they are the main group collecting such info) and how they were dealt with / what victims choose to do to balance out the public accounts.
Yeah I think it does! It might be good to highlight that in a way more people would read it (e.g. I read that post + the appendix but forgot it was there!)
I’m strongly in favour of this—it often feels like the need is to make this public so it becomes something the entire community is responsible for—as opposed to how it currently is (private and something CEA’s comm health mainly is responsible for).

FWIW this is exactly how I feel about gender-based issues in EA!

Does the appendix in Julia’s post here do what you’re looking for?
