Harriet Wistrich

I support the survivors of Al-Fayed and their quest for justice and to hold Harrods accountable for their complicity in allowing and enabling this systematic abuse.  Now, more than ever, rich powerful men who believe they can get away with sexual abuse of the young and more vulnerable, need to know that more and more survivors are finding their voice and banding together in solidarity to challenge immunity and hold men and the institutions that support them accountable.
