@KristinRaworth@630CHED@MJLJ3 Kristin, thank you for your continued courage to speak out for survivors and communities, to speak truth to this. It’s not easy especially in this wave of backlash that we are experiencing. I’ve been through lots of waves of backlash in my years, this one is particularly ugly.

By attempting to sexualize & degrade teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, the perpetrators of this stunt fall into the category of reactionaries who try to oppress women.

I have to say that after 30+ years in the field, this is in the top 5 of appalling stories related to what survivors have experienced in court. No wonder the Canadian reporting rate is still so low
