The Stars of Girls Dedicate Message of Support to Stanford Assault Survivor

1 minute read

Lena Dunham has released a video message from the Girls stars dedicated to the 23-year-old sexual assault survivor in the Stanford case.

Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet alternated speaking a single message of support for survivors of sexual assault, whom they note are too commonly blamed and unsupported.

“While it’s just the four of us here right now, we hope to represent the solidarity and support all survivors should be able to find,” they said in the video, amidst national outcry about the sexual assault case in which Brock Turner, 20, was convicted on intent to commit rape and sentenced to six months in jail.

“So please, support, listen, take action. not because she’s someone daughter, someone’s girlfriend, or someone’s sister,” the Girls actresses said in the video. “But because she is someone.” Watch the rest of the message below.
