Power Shift

A statement on the sale of Victoria’s Secret…

Today we are grateful for the survivors who have used their voices to hold Victoria’s Secret accountable for fostering a workplace culture that the New York Times described as riddled with “misogyny, bullying, and harassment.” Since 2006 when Tarana Burke founded the #MeToo movement, thousands of women have been empowered to step forward and hold leaders and brands accountable for harmful actions that strip away the dignity of survivors. Women are the most powerful consumers in the U.S. economy, and as a result, brands that continue to perpetuate sexism, lack body inclusivity, and fail to repair harm have fallen behind. Today we hold space for the people who have been impacted by the culture at Victoria’s Secret. The work continues for those of us fighting for a world where women have agency over their bodies, safety, education, and economic prosperity.
