    About 5.6 million women in California have experienced sexual violence. Priscilla Delgadillo, 13, and her sister Karen, 15, grew up in Los Angeles to an immigrant family. Their parents brought Karen to the States to bring her a better life. At a young age, she was molested by her uncles and her father's roommates. No one was aware what was going on — Karen kept silent. Listen to the sisters talk about the toll sexual abuse took on their lives.
