Speech
Girls, young ladies, women. We're at risk. Gang rape is shockingly common, and yet young women like yourselves are not given sufficient information about the problem and advice on how to stay safe. It's so important that you know how to take care of yourselves and protect yourselves when you're out.
Commentary
The speech begins with a triplet of plural nouns, "girls", "young ladies" and "women". This is effective because it shows that the speech is specifically aimed at females. The present tense personal pronoun "we're" engages the audience and makes them relate with the speaker, the fact that it's present tense also shows that the issue is very current and ongoing.
