1 in every 4 girls will be raped before they reach age 18. When a woman is raped, she not only has to suffer and recover from physical damages, but also her mental oppression. Rape victims are likely to smoke, drink, overeat, and let themselves get into life endangering situations. Out of all the women who have been raped, not even half report it due to fear, but what if one woman can make a difference by fighting for herself and others by standing up from her fears?
I am a daughter of a feminist and a fighter myself as I march and write and call my senators. The voice is very important and The Handmaid's Tale was pushed onto me by my mother as it has been her favorite book. I want to take this opportunity to share my own short story on fighting for better chances for women.

Logan
*TW* Contains topics and scenes of sexual assault, self-harm, abuse.* "You know you loved every second of it," I can feel the tears welling up as well as the anger building up within me. I stare at him for a while before I have to turn away from his hungry gaze. "Look I just came here to tell you that I forgive you for what you did back in Cali and I'll take you back," "You forgive me?" I yell. "I did nothing to you. You raped me! You fucking raped me! You have no right to come here and tell me that. You. Forgive. Me. You traumatized me. What you did to me tore me up inside and was eating away at me until I tried to kill myself. And when I told people they didn't believe me. I had to listen to so many people talk about how great a guy you were and how I clearly just regretted sleeping with you. You are a monster. You made me hate myself for something that was never my fault. You have caused me so much pain and suffering," I pause to take a deep breath. "So you don't get to come here to my school and tell me you forgive me. You don't get to make me feel bad about coming forward. The only thing I regret is ever thinking you were a good person." _____________________________________________ Logan Young is a 16-year-old girl about to start her senior year in a brand new town.

THE POWER OF WOMEN
"Women have within them an incredible power that is often underestimated or overlooked. It is a power that comes from their innate strength resilience and ability to empathize with others. Women have the power to create nurture and transform not just themselves but the world around them. Women have the power to break through barriers and challenge societal norms. They have the power to lead inspire and bring about positive change. They have the power to fight for justice and equality and to advocate for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed. The power of women lies in their ability to connect deeply with others to listen and to understand. They possess a unique intuition and emotional intelligence that allows them to navigate complex situations and find creative solutions. Their compassion and empathy enable them to build strong relationships and support each other through life's challenges. Women also have the power to shape the future. As mothers daughters sisters and friends they pass down values knowledge and wisdom to the next generation. They have the power to shape the minds and hearts of those around them instilling in them the values of love kindness and equality. The power of women is not to be underestimated or diminished. It is a force that has been driving progress and change throughout history. From leading social movements to breaking glass ceilings in male-dominated industries women have been at the forefront of countless achievements and milestones. As we recognize and harness the power of women we move closer to a world where gender equality is fully realized. It is a world where the strengths and perspectives of both men and women are valued and respected and where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. So let us celebrate and honor the power of women and work together to build a more inclusive and equitable world for all." - The power of womenComplete

It's Okay to Use Your Big Girl Voice
Inside you will find a mixture of both, extremely RAW and refreshingly HEALING accounts of my personal war with my past. Unfortunately, Childhood sexual abuse is far too common, and many of share similar experiences. Looking back, what I could have used more than anything was someone to tell me "You're not alone, there is a lightness through the darkness, you can heal from this and most importantly don't EVER stop telling your story to make others comfortable". I've learned that silence is the best weapon for a predator, and I for one, have never been really good at doing what I'm told. I don't intend on starting now. I wear my scar as reminder that I hold the power in my own story, it is mine to tell and I won't make myself sick keeping quiet because my truths are hard to swallow, other people's comfort is not my problem. My Goal is rather simple, to let the readers know, they too are not alone. If you are a survivor, even if you still feel like a victim, this is my personal message to you. "You are strong, and it wasn't your fault. Tell someone... tell anyone...tell everyone... We shift from victims to survivors when we speak up and tell our stories. There's nothing wrong with you, and the light will shine again. The longer you sit in silence the more power your abuser still holds over you, wipe your face warrior, because there's a lion right inside of you, DONT EVER GIVE UP!" *This story is FULL of TRIGGERS, please be careful reading if triggers are hard for you, your mental health matters* *I own all the Rights to all parts of this book*

For the last two hundred years there has been a festival that would take place on unregulated territories. The King himself always attends. This Isnt a normal every day kind of festival. This festival is a nightmare for weaker wolves. For females. This is a fighting festival where wolves come on their own or are brought in by force. There are fights to the death, the winner, if they belong to someone, can be sold or mated off. Females dread this. Many females brought here are sold off to breeders for warriors. Most fighters who come here, come from packs that are strong. They train for this sort of thing. That's why wolves that are brought in fight to the death, and rogues dread the fights. Because most of them never make it back home. Refusing to back down in honor of the moon goddess. Paisley May Calista is a sweet young woman. At the age of eighteen she remained a virgin and mateless, her wolf was small but strong. She was taken in by a pack Alpha when her family was murdered. She was only seven when it happened. Ever since sweet little Paisley got here, she's been trained to fight. Yet she still has trouble with the Art of it. It isn't what she wants to do. What will happen when she is forced into the festival? Will her wolf stand a chance or will her fate end there? Keep reading to find out!!Complete
Evolution
There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING...
