Stitching Stories of Sexual Violence and Survival

Thousands of stories told by sexual assault survivors are stitched together in hundreds of quilts. Together, they form The Monument Quilt, organized by the activist collective FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture.

Recently, as Faiza Elmasry tells us, The Monument Quilt arrived at the National Mall in Washington to show solidarity and seek healing. Faith Lapidus narrates.
