No Pity. No Shame. No Silence.

I wondered for a moment what it would look like if just for one day, everyone who had survived sexual violence were visible as a survivor, if we could actually see the extent of it, if we could all know just how very not-alone we are. I wondered how angry and sad it would make me to know. I wondered how much power there might be in the truth.

My name is Lynn. I survived sexual violence.

No Pity. No Shame. No Silence.
