I’m standing united with other survivors because I believe it is through connection that we find a pathway to healing. For too long, so many of us have carried these experiences alone, wrapped in shame that was never ours to hold. Coming together reminds us that we are not isolated stories; we are a collective voice demanding dignity, truth, and change.

This campaign matters because what happened to us didn’t exist in a vacuum. Abuse is enabled by systems, by bystanders, and by institutions that look away, minimise, or protect reputations over people. Real accountability means naming not just the perpetrators, but those who were complicit, through action or inaction, and ensuring they can no longer hide behind silence or process.

I speak out not only for myself and the child I once was, but for those who still feel too afraid, too tired, or too broken to speak. Healing is not linear, but justice requires courage. Standing together is how we honour our experiences, protect future generations, and begin to transform pain into purpose.
