I strongly encourage you to listen to Rachael Denhollander's entire statement. She has demonstrated strength, courage, and dignity, but not just for herself. She opened the door for other victims to walk through and reclaim their voices that had been silenced for so long.
I hope Rachael's and the other victim impact statements will stop churches or Christian organizations from thinking they can deal with abuse in-house or worse, criminally and sinfully cover it up. I also hope this will cause those who, perhaps unwittingly, are still willing to sacrifice women and children in abusive family situations by denying them freedom and justice, to reconsider their position. As Rachael stated, "How much is a little girl worth? How much is a young woman worth?"
