Confronting sexual harassment and sexual abuse may be a challenge for many youth but not for spoken word artiste Amaris Noray.
The teenager has taken it upon herself to tackle the harassment young women face on a daily basis head-on.
In a powerful, spoken word piece, Noray highlighted the everyday discomfort of a young woman as she navigates sexual harassment, inappropriate sexual advances from strangers and family members, and rumours based on stereotyping.
Adversity was something Inge knew a lot about.

Inge Woolf in 2008, the year after she opened the New Zealand Holocaust Centre. Married to Ron Woolf, she had to deal with his sudden death in 1987, when he was photographing Wellington from a helicopter. Ron was at the height of a distinguished career in photography and his death was a major story at the time. The accident, which also resulted in the deaths of Peter Button and Dion Savage, could easily have led to the end of the business. A determined businesswoman, Inge kept Woolf Photography going, even doing some of the wedding pictures that her husband had booked, and remained an active director until the last few months of her life.

(File photo) She was a 2019 finalist in the Women of Influence Awards – Community Hero category, and more recently a finalist for the Welly Awards for community service. She established the Holcaust Centre with a dedicated group of survivors, refugees, and descendants, and remained an active fundraiser and educator until her death. She shared her story with thousands of students and members of the public over the years, encouraging them to stand up for what was right, speak out against prejudice and discrimination, and empowering them to know that hate starts small.
