            If all the women who have been raped / sexually abused
            and harassed came forward, people might understand
            the magnitude of this behavior. If sexual assault/abuse
            was reported when it happened, the police and  courts
            would be overwhelmed with just the sheer numbers
            and maybe people would understand the seriousness
            of these damaging criminal acts. It can and does hap-
            pen across the board to women regardless of age race
            religion etc etc. , it happens in same sex relationships,
            families, it can happen to you or someone you love
            to your neighbor, your sister, brother, cousin , friend
            anyone .

            Don’t dismiss it as someone else’s problem, it affects
            us all.

            It doesn’t have to ruin your life, talk to someone. I did.
