And it's encouraging the public to take this pledge because...
If you haven't experienced, I hope, I hope the majority of people listening to this podcast, I hope they haven't experienced rape or sexual violence or kidnapping or domestic abuse.
I hope so much they haven't.
But if they haven't, they know someone who has, whether they know they know them or not.
I mean, whether that person has disclosed to them or not.
They know someone.
I mean, that's just how prevalent it is in today's society.
And so our whole campaign is about trying to help educate the public on what it is to be a survivor.
How can we be a better community?
How can we support our victims and survivors a bit more?
How can we rise above victim blaming and victim shaming?
And, you know, we want everyone to jump on board and take our pledge where we pledge to believe our survivors.
We believe you.
Where we, you know, will offer them support and where we offer them, you know, love and a safe place to fall.
Because we all need each other.
I mean, there are very few people in this world that can survive without...
Human contact.
I mean, there are some, like I won't say everyone, but most of us, we need each other.
We need a community.
