In our previous campaign update, we collected, collated and shared some of the most touching quotes from survivors of violence against women in response to ‘The Rose’.
Today, we present a selection of quotes from AHMIR’s fans who have been inspired by the song to speak up to say NO to violence against women and we hope it inspires you to do the same*:
*Please note that we have reproduced these quotes in their authentic entirety to preserve the voice of the commentator.

“Why would a man hit a woman. Do they not understand a woman brought them in this world. A woman helped them when they were down and depressed. A woman fed them and put clothes on their back. A woman loved them for who they are. That woman never did them wrong. Yet they still manage to hit a woman.”– cranker619

“The best thing about you guys isn’t your amazing talent, it’s the fact that you use your talent for good. You use your talent and influence to help others. You don’t do it as a publicity stunt, you do it because you care. If these ‘celebrities’ that have so much influence spent even a fraction of their time doing what you do instead of partying, I smile to think about the place this world might be. Even if you start supporting a cause I disagree with, I’ll respect you for standing for something.”– twilightbonekeeper
