It will not be granted through internal adjustments or cosmetic reforms. It must be pursued with clarity, with strategy, and with an unshakable commitment to the principles of self-determination. By
The most important outcome of this moment is a shift in responsibility. Before now, the burden was on the victims to speak, to prove their case, and to seek attention.
