'In this man I see my abuser' Sexual assault survivors project powerful messages to Trump supporters

Survivors of sexual assault shared an important and powerful message on Thursday night in D.C. as thousands of Donald Trump supporters entered the city for his inauguration on Jan. 20.
The creative activist organization FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture set up an installation outside of a convention center several blocks from Union Station, with a projection of quotes and photos provided by people who have been victims of sexual violence.
The slideshow, which lasted nearly 45 minutes, featured words and photos from survivors of sexual assault who had a message for the people who elected Donald Trump. Paired with the hashtag #WeWillNotBeSilent messages read, “This man has the grabbing hands of the stranger when I was five.”
Other projections read, “In this man I see my abuser,” and “In this man, I see violence.”
