Silence is the Enemy Update

The “Silence is the Enemy” movement has now created a website to continue to spread the word of the movement: http://www.stopsilence.com/

(from a message from the facebook group)

June was only the beginning. The goal remains to draw attention to sexual abuse globally and encourage everyone to talk about it and act. We’re not focused on one gender or limited to a single specific region and now we must continue to bang the drum.

Remember several bloggers have pledged to donate their June revenue (based on traffic) to Doctors Without Borders, so you can support the effort with each click on:
