Recently, I received a note via my Facebook account asking me to consider joining a movement dedicated to ending the sexual abuse of men women and children living in Liberia. "Silence Is The Enemy," focuses on assaults taking place in Liberia, it is also designed to raise awareness of sexual abuse around the world.
Silence Is The Enemy started on June first on the Intersection blog, which is published by Discover. The founder of the movement Sheril Kirshenbaum wrote:
"Today begins a very important initiative called Silence Is The Enemy to help a generation of young women half a world away.Why? Because they are our sisters and children–the victims of sexual abuse who don’t have the means to ask for help. We have power in our words and influence. Along with our audience, we’re able to speak for them. I’m asking all of you–bloggers, writers, teachers, and concerned citizens–to use whatever platform you have to call for an end to the rape and abuse of women and girls in Liberia and around the world."
Please join me in supporting this very important movement by blogging about it, joining the Facebook group or participating in other ways.
