Rape culture is very present — Harvey Weinstein has proven this

Harvey Weinstein’s actions are well-known to many within his company and others in the industry. Over the years, a few women have spoken out who were affected, but that number could climb as more speak out. Quentin Tarantino, for example, has taken responsibility for knowing about what the Hollywood mogul was doing but not taking action. Weinstein’s actions may seem like a narrow story that only applies to Hollywood, but it does have broader implications.

Help each other and make your voices heard

Mental health is not merely a personal struggle. It is not something a person should be left to deal with alone. It is not something that can be swept aside. Mental health issues come from within.

However, we are far from finished.
