Certainly My Life Will Not Ever Be

I Think There's More Support Today. I Think There's Better Understanding Today. And There's A Better Appreciation For The Fact That If Any Community Is Going To Prosper, If Any Community Is Going To Be Seen At Its Best, That The Women In That Community Have To Be Viewed As Equally As Important As The Men. And [women] Have To Be Able To Live Outside Of Boundaries That Are Placed On Them Because Of Their Gender. As Well As Their Race Or Their Religion.

Testifying Has Helped Me Understand That One Individual's Behavior And Actions Make A Difference. That My Actions Are Important To People Other Than Myself

I Am Really Proud To Be A Part In Whatever Way Of Women Becoming Active In The Political Scene. I Think It Was The First Time That People Came To Terms With The Reality Of What It Meant To Have A Senate Made Up Of 98 Men And Two Women.

But The Issue Of Sexual Harassment Is Not The End Of It. There Are Other Issues - Political Issues, Gender Issues - That People Need To Be Educated About.

We Need To Turn The Question Around To Look At The Harasser, Not The Target. We Need To Be Sure That We Can Go Out And Look Anyone Who Is A Victim Of Harassment In The Eye And Say, 'you Do Not Have To Remain Silent Anymore.
