OMG! only 14% of women make a report. That means there are a lots of men who are not reported or held to account for the damage they cause.
And walk free to cause even more damage. Think about that for a minute.

I waited over 20 years to report my sexual abuser.
Because I was 14.
Because it was my hero.
Because it was my priest.
Because I thought I'd be expelled.
Because I feared no one would believe me.
Because I thought suicide was easier than telling 1 person

I was 17. Raped by a friend. I was confused. In denial. Afraid. His parents were richer & better connected than my parents. He was a 'good' student. Ppl liked him. The only friend I told--responded w: 'He wld never do that.' I didn't think anyone would help me. #WhyIDidntReport
Because I didn’t want to lose my job or make people think I was a drama queen. #WhyIDidntReport
I did, it didn’t matter, I was dismissed, disparaged, & I still get blamed #WhyIDidntReport
When >50% of women in academia experience sexual harassment, institutional apathy should be everyone’s concern.

Because I was 18
I was scared
I didn’t think I’d be believed
I didn’t know where to go
I knew my assailant
I couldn’t break my parents’ hearts
I didn’t want to be defined by someone else’s violent criminal act
