“When we stay silent, we stay on the same path that led us here.
Making noise is making change. Making change is why we tell stories.
We don’t want to have to tell stories like this one again and again. Speak louder.”
~ Lena Dunham in NY Times Op Ed piece
Beautifully and clearly said. It is the silence of victims echoed by those who stood by knowing that has allowed this practice to go on for so long. Women empower themselves and others by living life out loud.
So sadly true
