In recent weeks, I’ve been inspired by the courage of so many survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence who are taking to social media to share their experiences through their #MeToo posts. Sexual violence is an issue that crosses all lines: socioeconomic, gender, political and racial. Too often, people who commit acts of sexual violence victimize individuals who are the most vulnerable: children, immigrants and members of the LGBTQ community. The #MeToo campaign has ignited a firestorm that is allowing survivors of sexual violence and harassment to shed light on this all-too-common problem. But ordinary people, living ordinary lives, spoke out, demanded something better, held one another accountable, and created extraordinary change.
