Breaking the Silence

"It is not enough to condemn campus sexual assault. We need to end campus sexual assault."

"I think that it shouldn't be a taboo subject, that we should be bringing awareness to child sexual abuse and talking about this."

This weekend marks the six-year anniversary of my assault and rape in Belfast. It's not the kind of anniversary you tend to celebrate with greeting cards, cake, or presents (or frankly, announce on The Huffington Post). But at the same time, it's an anniversary which I find impossible to overlook.
