Brisa De Angulo, Esq.
SAGE Member and SAGE representative to the GSG
We are a survivor-centered movement, fighting for the right of all children and adolescents to live a life in safety and with dignity free from sexual violence.
We are survivors with different backgrounds and our experiences with sexual violence are varied. But we share a common knowledge of what it’s like to feel alone, to be hidden, to live scared, and to hold onto misplaced blame. We know what it’s like to carry shame.
This is a burden we refuse to carry any longer. We are transforming our shame into our call for bold and transformative action through the Brave Movement:
For survivors everywhere to find healing, agency, and their power to heal.
For perpetration to be prevented and perpetrators held to account and brought to justice.
To enable adults, leaders, and institutions that perpetuate the silence to transform into allies.
We are the SAGE. We are a group of 15 brave and powerful survivors of sexual violence in childhood, using our collective voice to speak out when there is silence and advocating for transformational change. With our wisdom and experience, we help guide the vision and strategy of the brave movement.
We will create a world where children and adolescents can grow up free from harm, so that no one has to go through what we have.
