'Daughters of Mother India'
"Stand strong my sisters across the sea! We see you and fight with you! Acts like this or not just limited to India. Violence against women happens worldwide and needs to be stopped! Punishment need to fit the crime, and there should never be a statute of limitations when it comes to rape! It will haunt the victims / survivors for the rest of their lives so why should the perpetrator of the act have only a limited amount of time to be held accountable for it"
- Kimberly Henkel
