Tika will be a life changing platform for women to come forward and feel supported and guided on the processes of coming forward. It's going to be a revolution.

I think Tika will play a massive role in challenging the current discourse that women should stay quiet. It’s a way that we as a society can normalise standing up and saying, “This person committed a crime against me."
