About Our Voices Matter

 

Our Voices Matter is a collection of testimony by individuals who have been harmed by prostitution, pornography, and trafficking. Our Voices Matter seeks to provide a safe space for survivors to give voice to how prostitution, pornography, and trafficking have impacted their lives.

Our Voices Matter aims to:

        *shatter silence, invisibility, marginalization, and shame
        *provide a safe space for survivors to share their stories in ways that may lead to healing
        and help others
        *raise awareness on the hidden realities and injuries of prostitution, pornography and         trafficking
        *challenge dominant ideology and beliefs that prostitution is a “victimless crime” and that
        pornography is mere “fantasy” and harmless fun
        *interrupt people’s acquiescence, compliance, and defense of these systems of harm
        *incite community awareness, response, and action.

Our Voices Matter seeks to gather the pain, hurt, abuse, and horrors of survivors into a loud, overwhelming, and hopeful outcry that can and will be heard. Our Voices Matter is an assertion that women and children matter; that the quest for a day when women and children are not bought and sold is worth fighting for; and that real social change is imperative to actualizing this goal.
