US- Seattle: Hillary Roberts says she is a survivor. A survivor of sexual assault and of a system she said can fail those it’s meant to protect.
“I’m not a victim. I’m a survivor,” Roberts said. “Victims are helpless. They’re hurt whereas with survivors, there’s an element of strength, overcoming and resilience.”
It’s that resilience Roberts, a Seattle attorney, said makes her capable of speaking out about being sexually assaulted in 2009.
