Rape Survivors Pen Letter to Lady Gaga, Diane Warren for TIHTY song

[asana15 16,648]

The four s-xual assault survivors who helped inspire Lady Gaga’s internationally hailed music video, "Til It Happens to You," have written to the singer and to the song’s co-writer Diane Warren, thanking them in moving terms for their artistic support.

The four young women, whose campus s-xual assaults were detailed in the documentary 'The Hunting Ground,' said the song will help other victims feel less "isolated or alone."

The song, which never has been released as a single, is the haunting theme of Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering’s acclaimed documentary, The Hunting Ground, which details the experiences of Annie E. Clark, Andrea L. Pino, Sofie Karasek and Kamilah Willingham — all of them s-xually assaulted on their college campuses.

This week, Clark, Pino,
 Karasek and Willingham wrote to Gaga and Warren to express their gratitude for the song and video: “Since we first came forward with our personal stories of s-xual assault to our family, to the media and in The Hunting Ground, our lives have changed significantly,” they wrote.… We want to thank you both for having the courage to write and perform this song and for allowing your talent, your music, your lyrics and your voices to tell our stories."

Warren responded that, “The letter from the survivors from the documentary The Hunting Ground that was sent to Lady Gaga and me made me cry. I am humbled by this brave and beautiful letter and being able to write a song that can not only speak to this cause but can hopefully help bring some healing as well.”

I'm glad these four individuals were able to come forward, not just for themselves but to the world. As time heals their wounds I hope they realize that by speaking out they are giving a voice to many that are scared, ashamed, or being silenced. How wonderful that Gaga and Diane and the film makers were able to give these four such recognition. **** BS like charts, this is real impact!

Impact already.  Queen of humanity!
