The video features dozens of women, including celebrities like Rose McGowan and Amber Tamblyn, describing a time they were sexually harassed or assaulted by men. Each woman has a story of verbal harassment to go along with the sexual assault shes experienced.
Their riveting testimonies remind viewers that Trumps locker room banter is anything but just words.
Warning: tories in the below video may be triggering to some readers.
I think people like Donald Trump will never understand the correlation that women understand between words and actions, Tamblyn ― whos been an outspoken advocate for sexual assault survivors ― says. Especially when youre a man in a position of power and you talk that way publicly and you say those things. You are telling the world, you are telling everyone, that its OK to behave that way.
As one woman says in the video in response to Trumps grab em by the pussy comments: Its not just words, it happens every day. Its happened to me more times than I can count.
After the release of the Trump Access Hollywood tapes, I felt it was important to share the OTHER side of the story ― stories of women being objectified, kissed, groped, and humiliated by the words and actions of others. These words and actions have a huge effect on womens lives. And we are here to say, together, in one loud voice, that this is NOT OKAY.

I was sitting in English class, reading, when the boy in front of me turned around and loudly said, "You're in the seventh grade and STILL flat-chested?" while shaking his head, disgusted. I was totally shocked. Ironically, from the age of seventeen I started wearing minimizer bras and loose tops and layers to hide my breasts so as not to be constantly catcalled, to feel safer in public, to not be assumed an idiot because of my figure.
