Steubenville Rape Survivor Requests Donations For Women’s Shelter

Steubenville Rape Survivor Requests Donations For Women's Shelter

Remember the young women whom all non-Internet media sources– well, and many of them too — have seemingly forgot? The 16-year-old girl whose life and reputation have been shredded by those too blinded by rape culture and misogyny to see that she, who never chose for any of the events leading up to this trial to happen, is the real victim?
