In the actress' first public remarks since accusing film producer Harvey Weinstein of rape, Rose McGowan on Friday at the Women's Convention in Detroit called on women to stand up to abuse.

The 'Charmed' actress implored women to continue to come forward with stories of sexual harassment and assault. She added, "We are pure and we are strong and we will fight.
