“If the woman with power is not safe, what of the girl with no name?” Akah asked in the video.

Akah wrote in part:
“There comes a time when silence is betrayal. Today, I choose to speak. This is not just about one woman. This is about a system that has failed to protect its own. If a female senator is not safe, then who is? If a woman in power is ridiculed for speaking up, then what happens to the girl on the street, the woman in the workplace, the child in a classroom?
Good men, where are you? Men with voices, influence, power and integrity must do something. We cannot keep looking away. We cannot let injustice become culture. We cannot let our daughters inherit a world where their voices are drowned out by mockery, where their pain is entertainment, where their dignity is negotiable.”
