## Summary

Emmy Rossum has become an ambassador for RAINN, the anti-sexual violence organisation, and says she wants to help make discussion of sexual violence less shameful. Her work on the crime drama *Furious*, which is returning for a second season, has strengthened her commitment to supporting survivors and promoting prevention.

Rossum said RAINN supports people facing both immediate and long-term trauma and helps educate the public. She also highlighted teaching children about consent, citing her five-year-old daughter’s request not to have her hair touched. In researching her role as FBI agent Alice Black, Rossum spoke with survivors and said the series aims to portray trauma without requiring survivors to fit a “perfect victim” stereotype; Hulu renewed the show for a second season before its first-season finale.
