From Steubenville, Ohio, to Washington, D.C., from city courts to Twitter feeds, a new generation of women are taking the fight for justice into their own hands. Let their total fearlessness inspire you.

By now, you're probably familiar with the chilling details of what happened last August 11 in Steubenville, Ohio: A 16-year-old girl, drunk and passed out, was raped twice over the course of a long evening, her body hauled from party to party by two of Steubenville High's star football players. Dozens of teens witnessed the events. Not one intervened. Instead, they took photos and broadcast them to the world on Instagram and Twitter. "Whore status," one tweeted. "Hahahahhaaha."

Why do so many of us know all of this? Why has this particular sexual assault captured the nation's attention, as opposed to the almost 600 others that happened that same day? Because someone—in fact, thousands of someones—finally said, "Enough."

One of those someones was Cassandra Fairbanks, 28, a sound technician then living in Pittsburgh, who had just gotten involved with the controversial "hacktivist" group Anonymous. When another member sent a warning to the group alleging that the Steubenville case was being ignored by local authorities, Fairbanks started combing social media sites and digging up tweets and posts from the night of the incident. The research tore her heart out. "I read about this passed-out girl and someone peeing on her," she says. "And the more I read, the madder I got. So we posted all that information." As the case began to draw attention, Fairbanks drove to Ohio to help organize Occupy Steubenville protests; thousands of people attended, many wearing Anonymous' trademark Guy Fawkes masks and carrying signs with messages like "Red rover, red rover, your rape crew is over." Within weeks the trial began, and this March the boys were sentenced to at least one year in juvenile jail on rape charges.

Meanwhile in Louisville, Kentucky, high schooler Savannah Dietrich, a self-described "quiet, smart girl," was just getting over her own devastating Steubenville-like experience: Drunk at a party, she too had been sexually abused by two athletes—these, lacrosse players from a Catholic boys' academy. Pleading guilty, they were referred to a sex offender treatment program and required to do 50 hours of volunteer work. But when Dietrich learned that if she spoke out about the case, she could get 180 days in jail, the disparity of the two punishments enraged her. So she sent a tweet that would change everything: "Will Frey and Austin Zehnder sexually assaulted me. There you go, lock me up. I'm not protecting anyone that made my life a living hell." Support flooded in from women around the country applauding Dietrich's courage. "It was my God-given right to put those boys' names out there," Dietrich, now 18, tells Glamour. "You have to be brave enough to stand up for yourself. To be silenced and bullied by the court system, I was ready to go to jail to fight that." (In the end, she didn't have to; her contempt charges were dropped.)
