"Here's what I think. Look at slavery. It's utterly barbaric. How could a practice like that absolutely exist, ever? So, raping women? Same thing. How could that exist? So part of me goes, of course it has to end now! We have to have an idea that it's possible to end this. Because if we all keep going around as if, well, it's just part of what life is, it's part of the human condition, it's who men are, it becomes permanently normalised, right? So, yes, I do hold an idea that it's possible. Absolutely. I wouldn't keep doing this work if I didn't. I'd be an insane person. Now, obviously it hasn't happened yet. But at the same time, the world has changed. We are talking about violence against women, it is on the front page of newspapers. It wasn't 16 years ago. So it has changed, and that makes me think, why can't we end it? I'm going to believe it's possible until I leave this world, because that gets me up in the morning. And if that's a pipe dream, so be it." - Eve Ensler
We need more people who believe this.
