Voices &
Faces - Survivors of Rape & Sexual Assault - Video
The Voices and Faces Project is a USA
national documentary project created to give voice and face to survivors of
sexual violence, offering a sense of solidarity to those who have lived through
rape and abuse while raising awareness of how this human rights and public
health issue impacts victims, families and communities.
Our Voices and Faces mission is to give voice and face to rape survivors,
offering a sense of solidarity and possibility to those who have lived through
abuse, while raising awareness of how this human rights and public health issue
impacts victims, families and communities.
To do this we have created a national network of sexual assault survivors
willing to stand up and speak out about the rape and abuse they have endured.
Our goal is to put names and faces on the epidemic of sexual assault,
addressing the issue in not only personal but also political terms. The
Voices and Faces Project was created for - and is largely funded and
staffed by - survivors who have rejected the shame, invisibility and silence
thrust upon them by the broader culture. One in four women and one in six men
will be victims of sexual abuse in their lifetime. By speaking out, we hope to
change that.
