Positive social responses to sexual trauma dramatically reduce the incidence of PTSD. Most victims are blamed instead. By improving our social responses we can reduce the incidence of PTSD and it’s costs to individuals, families, and communities. #traumaconsciousleadership

Believe the survivors.👇

Maria Farmer went to the FBI in 1996. They ignored her. Epstein abused girls for another 20 years. The first cover-up is what made the other cover-ups possible. Fear silenced survivors. I won’t.

In an abuser-centered environment, the enablers intervene when the wounded need help. The abuser is protected, and their actions are downplayed. Meanwhile, the enablers shame the wounded for how they’re responding to the abuse. Healthy environments help wounded people heal.

Exposing men who traumatize women and then make bank off of their trauma…and the people who buy it.

Congratulations to @sflennon on the release of his brand new book, STAND UP SPEAK UP, telling the history of the survivors' movement -- its victories & its obstacles -- and how it is changing the world. Told with both careful documentation & a page-turning narrative. #ChurchToo

“So many men falling over themselves to support men who rape.” #canconfirm #churchtoo #ECCToo Women too, sadly. Let’s resolve to be the opposite of this pathetic example of human behavior.

Children do not experience abuse because they’re vulnerable. They experience abuse because a person made the choice to abuse them. The fact that kids are vulnerable should point to the fact that abusers are cowards. Stop confusing these narratives.

Hey @lecrae — while you’re talking about listening to fans, how about listening to the victims (many of us have been real fans over the years) of child sex abuse at @Kanakuk? That’s the same org you’ve partnered with for over a decade. #Facts. Follow along @RollingStone.🧵

Blood in the Water, Part Two: Surviving and Recovering from Mobbing

Iranian women blinded by the Islamic regime for protesting continue their fight. Meet Kosar Eftekhari, 23, boldly walking unveiled in defiance of mandatory hijab laws despite being blinded by the regime. Iranian women send a clear message: they stand firm, while it’s the regressive mullahs who must leave. #WomanLifeFreedom

@ThigpenTiffany I appreciate your voice and advocacy so much.

If you listen to William Wolfe (why would you) he would tell you these things don’t happen and it isn’t a crisis of abuse coming to light but a “Narrative” Multiple men accuse former youth pastor of abuse | U.S. christianpost.com/news/multiple-…

@marcinca3 ♥️ We are grateful too! ♥️

This week marks a 30 year cancer anniversary for me. So grateful to get to here. #3CancerDxs #TilEveryoneSurvivesIt 💔🙏🏼

People really will get more pissed off about a company changing a logo than when leaders in their denomination are exposed as sexual abusers. Absolutely incredible.

Silence about suspected abuse may feel easier in the moment, but it shields offenders and leaves victims vulnerable. Speaking up is difficult—but it’s the only way to expose perpetrators and protect those at risk.

"The spiritual violence of clergy sexual abuse diminishes, and in some cases may even destroy a survivor’s capacities for religious faith." - Theresa Tobin I so appreciate this @wartwatch column, recognizing the unique harms of sexual abuse perpetrated by clergy. ⬇️ #ChurchToo
