Sometimes (many times, actually), I come across words far better constructed than mine on issues near and dear to my heart. From this point forward, I will always refer to this post by my friend and champion for victims everywhere, Roger Canaff. What a tremendous piece. Anyone who says the right to blame victims because they are drunk is “their opinion” can kiss off. What a pathetic belief to cling to and a useless one at that. That position helps no one but rapists and is without defense.

I’ve been at the forefront of advocating for Americans sexually assaulted or abused overseas. I fight to bring attention to the lack of funding and services for these underserved victims while raising awareness about the complexities of the issue. I am President of Pathways to Safety International and continue to raise crucial funds to serve Americans harmed in dozens of countries every year.
