It is free admission.
Israeli beauty queen Linor Abargil was abducted and raped in Milan, Italy two
months before being crowned Miss World in 1998. Ten years later, she’s ready to
talk about it – and to encourage others to speak out. Now a globe-trotting victims’
advocate, Linor encourages others to stand against sexual violence by putting an
end to their silence. She travels to speak with teens in South Africa, where girls
are statistically more likely to be raped than educated. She visits U.S. college
campuses where women describe a campus culture that fails to take assaults
seriously. From rape crisis centers worldwide, to Hollywood’s living rooms, Linor
is met with emotional support, but the advocacy work causes her own trauma to
resurface.
