gRAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is appalled by the verdict in the sexual assault case against former Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein. We are grateful to all survivors who have spoken and condemned Mr. Weinstein for his despicable crimes against women. We must support these courageous survivors with rehabilitation, funding, and access to justice. The verdict sends a clear message that this type of behavior in our society will not be tolerated—but just as importantly, it also communicates that we are responsible for acting to prevent future violence from occurring by having meaningful dialogue with our children about healthy sexual relationships.”

RAINN’s mission is to end sexual violence. We do this by providing high-quality information and support for victims and survivors, detecting warning signs of sexual abuse and teen dating abuse, empowering people to become advocates for their safety, and conducting prevention education and training with service providers and law enforcement agencies, while also working collaboratively with community leaders in education, advocacy, and public policy.
