Silence is the enemy of justice.

That’s a phrase that comes to mind again and again as women's stories have unfolded in these past few months. The ability of harassers and sexual predators to silence and isolate their victims stems from misogynistic cultural forces that shame and intimidate women from coming forward; the patriarchal systems that segregate workers by gender and race; and the legal barriers put in place by those intent on sustaining white male power.
The antidote to patriarchy is a strong feminist movement that demands change in our laws, institutions and customs. In the Winter issue of Ms., we shed light on the myriad ways we can organize to take them back.
