You brought to light a very real and ongoing tragedy in a story people were really able to relate to, and opened the door to so many who thought they were alone and imprisoned in violent, degrading, abusive situations. You brought hope to the hopeless. Rarely are our actions without consequences both good and bad. The real harm would have been to do nothing with your vision. I am SO proud of you.
