with the #SexualAbuse used as a weapon of war to humiliate and terrorise #communities. Often the violent assaults would happen in front of family members.

Never forget. Never again.

'Eigenlijk zijn we weer terug bij af', stelt Ronald ter Voert, presentator van De Boardroom, als het gaat om de vraag: 'Zijn #communities de #nieuwe #socials?'. 
Dat was ook een community. Met boekjes, clubdagen etcetera. Het enige verschil is dat er nu tech aan toegevoegd is, waardoor het #schaalbaar is", aldus Stacey Rookhuizen (Bombilate Media).
