RAINN: 1-800-656-HOPE

"One year ago, I locked my door and went to sleep; like we all do on any given night. Unfortunately, this night was like no other before and was one I will never be able to forget. I woke up that night to a co-worker who had undressed himself, crawled into my bed and raped me. "
Kathleen, rape survivor

Rape is a crime, talking about it isn't. SPEAK.

Share Your Story

After Silence is looking to publish stories of courage by women and men who have survived rape, sexual abuse, incest, and sexual assault. Because we strive to help survivors achieve emotional recovery and regain self-esteem, we are especially looking for stories that will inspire and encourage other survivors of sexual violence. We hope to hear from you, and we hope that you will be comfortable in sharing your first name and possibly a picture of yourself. Remember, there is no shame in being a survivor of sexual violence.

Help us break the cycle of self-punishment, guilt and shame by sending us your story.
