preview for Viola Davis to sexual assault survivors: 'You're born worthy'

From Oprah Winfrey's powerful acceptance speech to Debra Messing calling out E! for unequal pay practices, statements of solidarity have dominated this year's Golden Globes.

One moving piece of advice came from Viola Davis, who joined many other stars in supporting the #TimesUp movement by wearing black to honour victims of sexual harassment.

Speaking to NBC anchor Al Roker on the red carpet, Davis explained exactly why she wanted to join the show of unity at this year's awards.

'I'm here because I hear the voices of women who said, 'Me too,' — which, one of them was me,' Davis said, before she went on to share her guidance for those who have struggled with sexual assault.

'I hear those voices, those people who nameless faceless, every day, who don't have a platform… to talk about their sexual assault and rape,' Davis added. 'It's like someone says, there's no prerequisites to worthiness. You're born worthy, and I think that's a message a lot of women need hear. The women who are still in silence because of trauma, shame due to assault. They need to understand that it's not their fault and they're not dirty. That's my message tonight.'

Davis, who is no stranger to making beautiful acceptance speeches herself, has since been praised for her incredible words - and for rocking her natural hair - on Twitter.

Davis' reaction to Oprah's acceptance speech for the Cecil B. DeMille award was pretty perfect, too.
