In my silence, I became complicit

I remember the days when sexual violence was merely a daunting tale to me, a dark narrative placed far outside the safe haven of my childhood in a rural town. I miss the comfort and warmth that came with my ignorance. Today, when I fear drowning amidst the sexual violence epidemic that sweeps across universities, like my own, I dream of the blissful ignorance of my childhood.
