We were told more women in power would mean more safety for all women.
We were told that when women rise, we all rise.
But too many of us are still in danger—and now, some of the harm is coming from those who look like us.
Let’s speak the truth:
More women in media, in politics, on platforms—has not meant more safety for women and girls.
Because some of those women are not standing with us.
They’re standing with power. With performance. With patriarchy.
🛑 When Women in Power Echo Abusive Men
Some women with influence have:
Mocked and shamed Survivors for crying out.
Called traumatized women “hateful” for asking real, necessary questions.
Aligned themselves with male-centered politics, even when it costs girls their safety.
Backed laws and platforms that erase women, erase our boundaries, and erase our protections.
And when we say, “This harms us,”
we are told to shut up.
We are told we’re not progressive.
We are told we’re the problem.
But we know who we are.
We are Survivors.
We are truth-tellers.
And we are not going to stay silent just because the harm is wearing heels and a mic this time.
💬 Female Doesn’t Mean Safe
Being female does not automatically make someone a sister in the struggle.
Not when her policies, her jokes, and her influence are used to:
Shame women who dare speak about male violence
Defend dangerous systems that silence child victims
Discredit girls who say, “I feel unsafe”
It’s not enough to “look like us” if you will not fight for us.
🧭 Our Standard Is Higher
At WeSurviveAbuse, we are not impressed by titles.
We are not moved by branding.
We stand with:
Women who center truth over clout
Leaders who protect the vulnerable over protecting their image
Survivors who name what hurts, even when it costs them everything
We don’t need more women in high places if those women are repeating the same narratives that hurt us.
📢 This Is What We Need
We need:
Laws that protect women and children—not erase us
Media voices that uplift Survivors—not mock us
Women in power who listen and understand that power without protection is betrayal
