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](http://time.com/4362423/brock-turner-stanford-swimmer-assault/ "undefined") 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. > [](https://twitter.com/lenadunham/status/740589966070153216) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4362442/lena-dunham-assault-survivors-support/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4362442/lena-dunham-assault-survivors-support/"},"headline":"The Stars of Girls Dedicate Message of Support to Stanford Assault Survivor","datePublished":"2016-06-09T15:00:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:29:27.081Z","description":"Lena Dunham posted the video message about supporting survivors","url":"https://time.com/4362442/lena-dunham-assault-survivors-support/","keywords":["Crime","Television","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c33ebe79f51feae/69889717196cf43b8e03bf13/cast-of-girls-support-survivors-sexual-assault.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Julia Zorthian","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/julia-zorthian/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7c33ebe79f51feae/69889717196cf43b8e03bf13/cast-of-girls-support-survivors-sexual-assault.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"cast of girls support rupport survivors sexual assault","caption":"The Television Academy Presents An Evening With \"Girls\"","creditText":"Jason LaVeris—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4362442/lena-dunham-assault-survivors-support/","name":"The Stars of Girls Dedicate Message of Support to Stanford Assault Survivor"}}]}] ```
