Women everywhere are beginning to stand up for themselves in a fierce and passionate manner. Together, women are making a stance against sexual assault and the abuse of woman's rights. On January 20th, Halsey took a break from music to speak on sexual assault at the 2018 Women's March in New York City.

Halsey introduced her speech by stating, "I don't really know how to do a speech unless it rhymes, so I'm gonna do a little poem for you guys." During this poem named "A Story Like Mine," Halsey passionately and emotionally spoke on real-life experiences that she and those around her have experienced. When listening to her speech, women everywhere related to her message as they have experienced the same discomfort in their lives.

In her speech, Halsey covered topics of sexual assault as a child, mentally and physically abusive relationships, rape, miscarriages, and how being in the public eye does not protect you. She also reminded her audience that there are women out there who do not have a voice in other countries including child brides.

Halsey even went on to discuss political figures such as Trump and men in the media with sexual assault accusations. The singer stated, "And that’s why we’re here, and that’s why we rally. It’s Olympians and a medical resident and not one f---ng word from the man who is President."

The singer later addressed what her message to President Trump would be in a post-speech interview with TMZ. The response is at second 45.

Hundreds of women acknowledged the importance of Halsey's speech. As she is a woman in the public eye, her speech means so much to young women learning of these misfortunes and women who have experienced different forms of assault and inequality.

Other women of great platforms have been following Halsey's lead and taking a stance against sexual assault.

I am proud to say I have met such an empowering woman. At the age of 23, the young singer is already making such a great impact. Halsey empowered women everywhere and "A Story Like Mine" shows you are never too young or old to start talking about what you believe in or what has affected you.
