PART 2: Mary Byler is one of less than a dozen cases [we're still fact-checking this number] of Amish sexual assault on public record. The focus of our conversation is on not so much the details of Mary's heinous ordeals but on very simple things that everyone can say and do that don't take any effort or resources + make *massive* differences to sexual assault survivors.

Watch, listen, and be inspired by a truly powerful woman who has been through the fires of hell a million times over.
