About this episode
The truth is, right now in New York City, assaults and crimes are at an all-time high. The streets we walk every day — the places we live, work, and exist — are becoming more dangerous, and yet, this growing crisis is being brushed aside, left in the shadows. But not here.In this special podcast series for Warrior of Truth, Kelly Dillon takes a hard look at the alarming rise in assaults against women in New York City — incidents that are all too often overlooked by city officials, police and the media. Through in-depth interviews with brave survivors, Kelly uncovers the painful truth about how their assaults were dismissed, ignored, or downplayed by those sworn to protect them. These women share their stories of fear, frustration, and the long-lasting impact of not being heard.Kelly also explores the systemic failures that allow such violence to persist, examining how gaps in law enforcement, media coverage, and public attention contribute to a culture where women’s safety is neglected. This series sheds light on the human cost of this crisis and asks the crucial question: What can we do to demand real change?By sharing these stories, we can create a ripple effect — a profound change in the way we approach women’s safety in our city. Because the time for silence is over.
