- RISE To End Rape Culture: An Open Letter to Mayor Duterte by Monique Wilson (Read ENTIRE letter.)
In response to statements made by presidential candidate and Davao City Mayor RodrigoDuterte
joking about a murdered Australian rape victim, One Billion Rising
Director Monique Wilson penned an open letter to Duterte imploring him
to use his voice to end rape culture.
In 2014, Nadia
Murad was kidnapped from her Kocho in Northern Iraq after ISIL militants
ransacked her village and murdered hundreds of men and older women.
After months of enslavement, suffering countless atrocities, she escaped
and is speaking out to raise awareness of the girls who remain in
captivity. Eve was asked by TIME Magazine to profile her as one of the
100 Most Influential People.
Congratulations
to Dr. Denis Mukwege, founder of the Panzi Hospital, for also being
named to TIME's list of the 100 Most Influential people for his work
healing the survivors of wartime rape in the Democratic Republic of
Congo.
