For too long, survivors have been told—implicitly or explicitly—that speaking up makes people uncomfortable. That detailing the truth is "too much," "too complex," or "too difficult to hear."

Here is the truth: Our silence was never meant to protect us. It was meant to protect the comfort of others.

We are done staying quiet to keep the peace. Truth isn't always neat, and real change doesn't happen when we stay polite about systemic failure. We are taking up space, raising our voices, and demanding accountability.

Speak your truth. Take up space. ✊

This is why being believed matters!!

🚨"About one-quarter of survivors said they were abused by a friend or acquaintance of themselves or their family."

🚨"Nearly 1 in 10 were abused by a parent or parent's partner."

🚨"Around 1 in 6 were abused by another family member."

🚨"Nearly 1 in 10 were abused by someone in a position of trust or authority (such as a teacher, coach, religious leader or care worker)."

For many survivors, getting to today may have meant overcoming huge challenges that others may never see.

Whatever may be on that piece of paper today, please remember that your worth cannot be measured by grades. Be kind to yourself; results are one moment in your story, not the whole story.

We see your courage and believe in your amazing potential ✨
