On behalf of all rape victims

Holly Desimone was viciously raped by an acquaintance who escaped prosecution and managed to leave the country. She launched a one-woman campaign to find him, creating her own justice.

In the process, Holly lost many things including the support of her family and her children. But she gained strength, confidence and blazed a trail for other women in Canada by having the courage to break her own publication ban and go public with her story.

You can watch a short video here -- powerful stuff. Hats off to you, Holly.
So proud of you, girlfriend! http://www.quantumshift.tv/modules/sharing/sharing.php?sid=MTE1
