Let me just say this. As a survivor myself, I know that this is not only about your safety, that you were robbed of your innocence and your dreams. Survivors are also forced to carry the financial burden of abuse, lost wages, housing instability, medical expenses, legal fees, security costs, trauma that impacts your daily life. Could any of you speak to that? We have put ourselves on the front line and spoke out and put our face to the public when we should have never had to. (04:16–04:28)
