As a mother who has personally endured this tragedy, Hope opens the dialogue with real stories and statistics, shedding light on systematic failures that have allowed such grievous acts to occur. She highlights recent cases, shares vital statistics, and calls for urgent systemic reforms, aiming to transform her pain into purpose.
