Get Code | Create Your Own!
Hello, I created this site to inform women and men of sexual assault. I am a sexual assault survivor and I want to spread the word to as many people as I can on how to prevent sexual assault and I also want to inform current victims of sexaul assault on how and where to get help.
*****Please view my blogs for more information on sexual assault prevention and what to do in case an assault occurs.*****
MY STORY: My name will remain unknown. I was friends with a guy for about a year and he drugged and raped me. I never thought anything like this could happen to me. And then one day, my whole world changed.
WHY I CREATED THIS WEBSITE: As stated above, I really want to spread the word of sexual assault. If I can reach out to just one person, I'll feel like I've done some good. I'm trying to take this bad thing that happened to me and spin it into a positive thing. I want to inform you and all of your friends of just how easily it could happen to you. If I were reading this a year ago, I would think "it can't happen to me. I'm too cautious. I don't do stupid things or put myself in bad positions", but here I am. It happened to me and it could happen to YOU.
