Gaga Media
Lady Gaga is a survivor. There’s nothing that we can say or do that will take that away from her. She is a survivor and one that has been at the very front of the fight against sexual assault. She, like any survivor, has taken time to heal and process and has since, never held back her thoughts and activism.
Note from the Editors:
We hope that everyone recognizes that Lady Gaga has spoken up for mental health, body image, LGBTQ activism, natural disaster benefit victims and much more. We thank Gaga for issuing a statement on the R. Kelly issue and we hope that everyone can focus on Gaga’s message which is to have tough conversations about the perpetrators of sexual assault. As she said, “we have a responsibility to the young men and women of this country to stand up against sexual violence everywhere”. While it is easy to accuse and vilify victims – especially women, we must remember that this kind of narrative is what the perpetrators want.
We’ve compiled this list hoping that you can see Gaga’s lifetime work on this issue. If we’ve missed any, we encourage you to add it in by hitting “Add your submission” at the very end of this post.
