 Support > Abuse Survivors
Work for survival, and refuse to keep the secrets of the crimes we suffered. Open to everyone; age, gender, background irrelevant. Survivors of sexual and gender violence-- rape; sexual abuse, harassment; FGM; G/L/B/T hate crimes; etc. Most are against women by men, but we don't seek to exclude male survivors, victims of female assailants; your pain is no less. Sites by survivors; or about, resourceful or inspirational to, surviving. By sharing our pains, we're sharing our strengths.
