Many survivors work hard to keep their abuse a secret, just as society has worked hard to pretend that there is an effective taboo against childhood sexual abuse. The real taboo has not been against incest, but against talking about it. As long as the truth remains untold, children everywhere remain at risk, and adults suffer in the aftermath of traumatic abuse. We must continue to talk openly and honestly about sexual abuse. Share your hope and courage with them.
Events range from full blown conferences to small gatherings of survivors and supporters.
Both the national coordinators and local sponsoring organizations for these events need ongoing financial assistance to continue the work of healing and prevention. We are grateful for your interest. Together we can work to create a world where the crime of sexual abuse can no longer exist.
