At OAESV, we believe that those most impacted by sexual violence must be included in the movement to end it. Survivor-led initiatives are essential. Research shows that programs shaped by survivors are more responsive, effective, and trauma-informed.
When survivors lead, communities listen. Their lived experiences bring critical insight that helps shape policies, prevention strategies, and support services that truly meet the needs of those affected. By investing in survivors’ voices, we shift power, amplify healing, and build a future rooted in justice and equity.
Join us in uplifting survivor voices and supporting initiatives that center their leadership—because survivors are not just recipients of services; they are experts, advocates, and changemakers.
