WE ARE SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
WE ARE BREAKING THE SILENCE.
WE ARE THE EMPOWERED.
The reality of the justice system for survivors in the UK is excruciating for hundreds of thousands of people. The system feels like it’s against us at every turn, and even when criminal justice is achieved, women in particular are still silenced. We demand change.
1 in 4
women have been raped since age 16
1 in 6
children have been sexually abused
5 in 6
women don’t report to the police
97%
of reported rapes DON’T result in criminal charges
End the silence!
Sharing your experiences with a community of supportive and like-minded people can be an incredibly freeing and empowering act, and can also give other survivors a glimmer of hope that they’re not alone.
It’s a bit scary, it’s very courageous, it’s absolutely necessary – please tell your story.
We the Empowered
