Речь Опры Уинфри на церемонии «Золотой глобус»

Yesterday was the 75th awards ceremony of the prize “Golden globe”. TV presenter and actress Oprah Winfrey has received the award Cecil B. DeMille, in honor of what uttered a solemn speech. She deeply touched the guests of the ceremony and all who saw her.

Oprah did not devote much time to the thanks, and told about a black woman of Resi Taylor, who died 10 days ago. In 1944, she was kidnapped and raped by white men. Criminals threatened with death if she told the police. The woman has conquered fear and told all law enforcement agencies, but such a step did not lead to their detention and the perpetrators have not been brought to justice. According to Oprah, in the age of Jim crow there was no justice.

“She lived in conditions when the world was ruled by mighty men. Very long time women are not believed when they dared to tell the whole truth about men. But that time is over,” joy says Oprah.

“Today I want to Express my gratitude to the women who endured years of abuse and humiliation because they, like my mother had to feed the kids and pay the bills. The names of these women we will never know. This is a simple Housewives, waitresses, engineers, doctors and research workers. They are part of the world of business and politics,” says the actress.

Oprah says in his speech that the problem of sexual violence and gender inequality not only affects the entertainment industry and show business, all spheres, of all professions and social strata. As a leading and personal mentor, she interacted with many women who have experienced violence and sexual harassment, and noted that they all believe in a brighter future.

“I want all the girls knew that on the horizon of a new day. And the dawn will come only thanks to the incredible and strong women who are now in the hall. And to the men fighting for the fact that these women were leaders and did everything that nobody said “I, too, had been sexually assaulted,” says Winfrey.
