Hollywood actress Ashley Judd, who was in Delhi on Monday revealed that she was raped twice.

Ashley said that she is a survivor of gender & sexual violence.

While addressing a press conference, she revealed, "I was molested when I was 7 years old. I was raped at 14, and then I was raped in 1998. It’s a miracle that I wasn’t trafficked.”

Judd has been an active social activist and has been one of the strong voices against Donald Trump for his offensive remarks against women.

"I love my country (United States) & my country has a long way to go in obtaining full equality for girls and women," she added.

The 'Twisted' actress continued saying that there is a huge pay disparity in Hollywood and that her lifetime earnings are 40 % less, simply because she is a female.
