A site dedicated to survivors of sexual abuse and those that support them. It is believed that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 10 men have at some time in their lives been sexually abused. Statistics show that more often than not, the abuser is generally known to the survivor and there is a higher incidence of abuse being perpertrated by family members. With such a high rate of people affected, little is said and the topic is generally "hidden" from society. The aim of this website is to show the affects, provide information on recovery and be a place where survivors can share their stories and artistic talents. This site provides stories, articles, inspiration and help to those affected by sexual abuse, rape and molestation. We are asking for submissions from survivors or supporters of survivors to display on these pages. Submissions can include poetry, stories, pictures of artworks or perhaps SHARE YOUR STORY. You can do this ANONYMOUSLY. If you are eager to tell of the affects on your life, please feel free to contact us so we can create a page just for you or try the share your story link to fill it in anonymously on the web now. Please read Whitedoves story or look through articles and poems, the Survivor Art Gallery or just browse. We hope something here may be of inspiration to you. Remember - YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are others out there just like you.
