We have 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.
Collective action and community care are indeed essential in addressing and ultimately ending childhood sexual violence.
Hope is the foundation of change. Brave Movement members share the powerful impact and overwhelming support the movement has given them, which has made them feel less alone and brought them a step forward in ensuring every child is protected from childhood sexual violence.
The impact of unified efforts and a powerful support network of survivors to end childhood sexual violence can never be understated.
