As We know that this is tricky business, speaking through the shadows, from the grave even. We’re not here, really. We’re not meant to be.Yet, when the world outside is aflame, then how can we stay silent?
We want to add our stories of violence by you – our peers in journalism, our colleagues, bosses and rivals – to the stories that are proliferating, and ask you how things can change for us. With no laws or committees, no forums online or offline, no networks of power, and not even the beginnings of credibility when we begin to speak, will you admit to your wrongs? Or will you say, as you always have, that we shouldn’t be here in the first place, so why complain about it?The way you said on Facebook, ‘The next thing you know, Sunny Leone is going to say she was assaulted too.’
Will the thousands of brave women who have shared their stories amplify our quieter stories of everyday harassment too – so that you realize this will not be tolerated any more?
