I’ve never been a good sleeper, but now more than ever, after having lost my job as a news anchor this past summer, I find myself lying awake at night thinking about my daughter — and your daughters, too. I’ve been asking myself this simple question: Will our girls finally be the ones to have workplaces free from sexual harassment? This question became even more compelling during the presidential race, where offensive comments about women were dismissed as “locker room talk.”

I want to do everything I can to end sexual harassment in the workplace. I didn’t expect to be cast in this role. But as a result of the news reports concerning my departure from Fox News, letters, emails and texts from victims of harassment have poured in to me, and I can’t turn away.

Just a few weeks ago, the comedian Heather McDonald, inspired by my story, publicly spoke about the time her boss just came out and asked if he could hold her breasts, as if that were a normal part of a working relationship. A former flight attendant wrote to tell me that her boss routinely harassed her sexually, and when she complained to human resources, they told her that she was the one who needed sexual harassment training. A tenured teacher at a religious school told me she had to quit her job. An Iraq war veteran, who endured repeated sexual harassment in the Army, returned to civilian life only to find even greater abuse on Wall Street.

Since my story went public, I’ve been cast as a victim — another role I never thought I’d have to play. My parents raised me with a never-give-up attitude, telling me I could be anything I wanted to be. I was a serious violinist and a valedictorian of my high school class. I knew all about hard work.
