Chessy Prout, Co-Founder of national nonprofit IHavetheRightTo, was 1 of the 6 women to work creatively on collaborating with Target on the A New Day + Vital Voices collection. #UseYourPowerToEmpower #TargetxVitalVoices
After surviving a sexual assault in high school, Chessy became an activist and author, publishing her memoir and launching the #IHaveTheRightTo movement.
"For too long I think people who have been victims of a sexual assault were told to just suffer in silence, that this happens to everybody, and that we shouldn't be making a big deal of it. But it is a big deal, and it really impacts our lives. And so we have the right to speak up and use our voices. And I was given a platform to be able to speak out and I really wanted to use that to help other survivors feel like they could own their stories too."
"I am Chessy, and I am vital voice."
