She told almost nobody. Built a life, a family, a law degree. And watched Larry Nassar continue treating hundreds of young girls while institutions that knew looked the other way.
In 2016 she went to the Indianapolis Star. Then the police. Then filed a Title IX complaint against Michigan State University. The floodgates opened.
250 women came forward. One by one they stood in court for nine days and told the world what he had done. Rachael spoke last. "How much is a little girl worth?"
Nassar was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. Michigan State paid $500 million to his victims. FBI agents who buried the investigation faced federal charges. She was the first. She did it alone. Everything that followed started with her. Her name is Rachael Denhollander.
She was a 25 year old lawyer in Ayacucho, Peru when her boyfriend attacked her in a hotel in July 2015. The security cameras captured everything. Him chasing her. Dragging her by the hair. Her screaming for help while hotel staff tried to intervene. The court watched the footage.

The appeals court threw out the original verdict. He was retried. Convicted of attempted f3micide. Sentenced to 11 years in prison. She went on to become a member of Congress. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Her name is Arlette Contreras. And she was just getting started.

Your daughter just got her first period.
Do not tell her she is a woman now.
Tell her what estrogen does.
Tell her what progesterone does.
Tell her her cycle has four phases and each one will feel different.

He’s going to kill her when he gets home, I’m not joking. I hope someone who knows her checks on her. A man got jumped in the water after hitting you? He’s going to kill you.
