At Amelia Rising, we believe that healing, safety, and justice are everyone’s right.

We provide free, completely confidential support for anyone 12+ who has experienced sexual or gender-based violence. Our work is grounded in feminist, intersectional, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive frameworks – because ending violence means building a culture rooted in consent, equity, and respect.

Survivors are people, not headlines.

Attention surrounding the allegations involving the Cornell 7 has brought sexual violence, institutional responses, and survivor experiences into public conversation once again.

We know that conversations like these can have a deeply personal impact. News coverage, social media commentary, and public discussion about sexual violence can bring memories, emotions, and experiences to the surface - sometimes unexpectedly.

Preventing and responding to sexual violence requires intervention, consequences, holding institutions accountable, and communities willing to challenge the cultures that allow violence to be minimized, normalized, or protected.

We encourage everyone engaging with stories of sexual violence to do so with care. If this conversation is bringing something up for you, it's okay to step away and take care of yourself.

When someone discloses their experience of violence to you, it can be overwhelming. You want to help, but might not know how.

Our Support for Supporters program offers brief, supportive intervention sessions and resources for those in a supportive role – whether you're a friend, partner, family member, or someone navigating a disclosure.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.
We’re here to help you support them, while also caring for yourself.
