Paris Hilton Pens Emotional Letter Asking House to Pass Child Abuse Bill: ‘Silence Doesn’t Heal’
In a powerful and emotional letter, socialite and philanthropist Paris Hilton has taken to the public sphere to urge the United States Congress to pass a bill aimed at combating child abuse. The legislation in question is the “EASE Act”, which would provide essential resources and support to victims of abuse.
In her heartfelt plea, Hilton draws upon her own experiences with trauma and abuse, highlighting the devastating impact it has had on her life. She writes: “Silence doesn’t heal…I wish someone had spoken up for me when I was a child, so that’s why I’m speaking out now.”
The reality TV star-turned-philanthropist is a strong advocate for children’s rights and wellbeing. Her impassioned appeal comes in the wake of a recent study revealing staggering statistics regarding child abuse: “1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys are sexually abused before they turn 18.”
Hilton believes it is imperative that lawmakers take immediate action to address this crisis, stating: “We can’t let our silence be the reason why another child suffers. We must speak up for those who can’t yet defend themselves.” She urges the House of Representatives to pass the EASE Act and provide a safety net for victims.
The legislation aims to increase funding for organizations that support abused children, while also providing additional resources for law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute these heinous crimes.
