This is one of a series of guest editorials I will be hosting here on my blog. As we confront the extensiveness of sexual harassment and exploitation in our culture, it is important for us to recognize how it specifically influences the animal rights movement, and those who are activists for animals. This guest editorial was written by and for women in the animal protection movement who need and deserve a voice. It is being published anonymously for the protection and safety of those who want to share their perspective and experiences.
