Writing a weekly series for The Huffington Post

So this HuffPost writing is now sort of a weekly thing.  My second post for them went up last week, featured in HuffPost Women, and you can read it here:  ‘On the Anniversary of Your Rape.’

In the coming weeks, I hope to use this platform to explore issues surrounding sexual assault, and how it’s handled in our society through policy, contemporary attitudes, and representations in the media.  Please do Tweet or share this around, if it’s an issue that’s important to you.  My writer page for The Huffington Post is here and you can also follow me on my newly-revived Twitter account: @winniemli  – Thanks!

My article on The Huffington Post – “Dear Harvard: You’re Not Winning”

Hey, that’s cool.  The Huffington Post featured my article on their “front page” today!

The title is: “Dear Harvard: Your’e Not Winning (This Article Is About Rape, Not Basketball” and it’s effectively a response to “Dear Harvard: You Win” — the shocking op-ed written by an anonymous Harvard undergraduate student earlier this week.  In the earlier op-ed, the student blasts Harvard for their mis-handling of her sexual assault case.  In my response, I reflect on this from my perspective as a Harvard alum and a rape survivor.  Many thanks to those you who have already shared it round – please continue to do so.  I’m hoping that if enough people speak up, we can advocate a change in the policy towards sexual assault at Harvard and other colleges.  At the moment, it’s simply too easy for date rape cases to go ignored and un-pursued at educational institutions.  And the consequences for victims can be devastating.
