You Can’t Take My Daughter” Lifetime’s Movie- (Inspired by the true story) of the Rape of Analyn Megison

Roar with Shari. . . All Things Justice for Women & Survivors

In this episode, I’m talking with rape survivor and rape victim, Analyn Megison, inspiration for the Lifetime Movie "You Can't Take My Daughter". The true rape story of a woman who survived was stalked, hunted, and battled her rapists to keep her daughter safe. Analyn bravely comes forward in this chilling episode to discuss her rape, survival, activism, and years-long fight in the court to keep her rapist from gaining custody of her daughter conceived through rape.
We discuss with Analyn Megison about her journey, as a rape survivor, victim and mother, who has been through trauma and resilience helping others on their healing journey. Analyn talks about the history of laws that discriminated against rape victims and the push to pass the "Rape Survivor Child Custody Act" nationwide.

“I was raped. I survived. I became pregnant and as a result, I now have an amazing daughter that I love with all my heart,” said Megison. “Love is always stronger than fear,” she says. Analyn hopes that in sharing her story it will bring awareness as to why laws like the one she helped get passed are so important.
