We will fight and defeat rape, we will fight and defeat patriarchy, and we will fight and defeat inequality! That is why as a man of conscience I have leapt to the side of our women and girls fighting against rape. Ending rape is not a stand-alone issue for women but a national struggle for decency in a society in need of redemption. It is because of the bold action of you women to come out in protest aginst rape, abuse, and social destruction. It sends the message that to fight injustice we cannot do it as a stand-alone project in our atomized silos, but by connecting struggles, building solidarity, and taking a stance.
