The reality of sexual violence is heartbreaking. The good news is that we don’t have to respond to this crisis from a “save the day heroism.” We can start where we are, stretching ourselves in small ways that inspire us to be more compassionate with ourselves and with others in ways that help kindle the flame in our hearts. This is what it means to shine a light. We are the ones who make the world a brighter and more compassionate place both inside and out. Your support and loving contribution play a vital role in restoring safety, dignity and empowerment to sexually abused and trafficked children, teens and adults. Join us in solidarity with the victims of sexual exploitation, so they have a chance to thrive! No one can do this alone. Together, we can all make a difference.
"We do not exist for ourselves alone, and it is only when we are fully convinced of this fact that we begin to love ourselves properly and thus also love others.”
