I don’t know how to respond. I don’t know what to do about it. I sit here in comfort and I am very uncomfortable looking at these photos and reading Ms. Judd’s words. I can not speak for others but this is why I can’t say too much on this subject … I have so much in comparison and they have nothing. I feel guilty.

I thank Ms. Judd for sharing her experiences with us; for being a witness to this and not remaining silent. I am so sorry, as she says, I am so sorry. Why do people have to suffer this way? Why must this go on? There must be another way … I am humbled by the courage it takes to stare at those bones and take in that once they supported humans with hearts and souls. I will pray for some kind of answer but in the meantime, I am grateful Ashley Judd is showing us what she is seeing.

It is such an honor and a privilege to have access to information of this magnitude. Thank you Ashley for have the courage to speak your truth! We all need to be aware of the holocaust of women which still exist. We all tend to get got up in our own world of survival and forget that there are others out there in worse conditions. As women we need to come together and speak from a place of heart for all. I hope this article will inspire others to speak their truth with courage and compassion. Can you imagine what could be accomplished if women around the world spoke with one voice of courage and compassion and addressed each issues as one? What changes would be possible? Thanks to this article and to Ashley Judd, she has opened our eyes wider so we may have the courage and compassion to speak our truth.
