Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame gave an outstandingly profound
joint address at the National Press Club on Wednesday. I am sure
that I am one of many who were deeply moved by both Higgins and
Tame and their courage, integrity and conviction.
Whilst listening to both Higgins and Tame, I felt a collective
nodding of heads among so many of us who have long recognised the
existence of institutions that continue to perpetuate inherent
misogyny.
On stage and through their fierce advocacy over the past year,
both women gave every person who has ever suffered sexual assault
or sexual abuse, every person who has ever been humiliated or
discriminated against on the basis of their gender or their
identity, a voice – and what a voice.
