Our goal should be to continue working to change the culture so that sexual harassment and sexual violence are broadly unacceptable and don’t occur.

At that point, I was already emotionally and physically exhausted from months of OPHD-enforced isolation and multiple hours of testimonies. The worst part for me was that OPHD forbade me to talk with anyone.
