Incest MUST be illegal. It ruins the lives of many, as a victim myself I have never been able to recover. It has been years and I cannot bear to be around a man because of him. I cannot have children anymore, my dream was to be a mother and my anxiety is so high I have to wear a monitor for my heart to detect dangerous spikes. He told me, he was going to Marry me, and no one looked at him weird because it’s legal. My calls for help were denied because molesting me when I was an child and raping me was not a crime. When we were 19, he proposed and threatened If I told he would continue to rape me. If I could become a mother, do you understand the worries I would face, every single day?! You see, my trauma is no longer preventable. But someone else’s is. Don’t make this same mistake by allowing this legally. Stop abuse before it begins.
Aice supported: Aziza's Law. Criminalize Incest in New Jersey Nowas someone who has a family where almost every female on my mom side has been sexually assaulted, i feel the need to speak up about this for more people as im a general advocate for all things. But what pisses me off more is the fact these men have not went to jail. They shouldnt have to write essays, they should have to eat prison food. the justice system needs so much fucking refining that it could take years to fix it.
Cora supported: Demand legal action against the Cornell Seven, University, and 50 other men in group chati was raped when i was 3,i still struggle with nightmares and feeling his hands on me to this day. please get these boys in prison.
kailee supported: Demand legal action against the Cornell Seven, University, and 50 other men in group chatit’s been 10 years since the ‘me too’ movement and i ask what exactly has changed? university life for women and girls in particular is plagued with sexual violence. 1/5 women is likely to be sexually assaulted in college. at schools like Cornell the stat is something closer to 1/3. the fact that such insane numbers have been normalized and victims reduced to another story swept under the rug is unacceptable. institutions act like for profit corporations rather than protect their students. perpetrators are protected in this system and these schools don’t uphold the moral values they claim to strive by. accountability now. justice now. we are not asking politely anymore.
Maha supported: CORNELL ALUMNI SUPPORTING JANE DOEThis note isn't to share my story, as a woman myself just know that a story is there. To Jane Doe - I'm sure it's pretty weird hearing and seeing people talk about you and your situation. I'm also sure you're having good days here and there but inside there's still something that doesn't feel quite right, and I'd be lying if I said that one day that feeling will just... disappear. If you do by chance see this just know how many women see you, how many of us love you, and how much you'll always be supported. The way you were treated was not the standard and you deserved better. You deserve better because you matter. As you continue on this path of life I want you to carry the strength with you everywhere, and if you ever need to borrow some - be aware you always have a sister looking out for you.
