We need to have this conversation for preventative measures. It happens more often than people think. Also because it makes men and women feel alone when  others do not experience these events. This can help people connect when they learn they are not alone and have someone to rely on [for support]. I will wear denim on Denim Day because it’s in support of survivors and because it shows that we stand with the victims and the movement.
