JUSTICE IS POSSIBLE

IF YOU'RE A SEXUAL ABUSE SURVIVOR, you may have tried to pick up the pieces and go on with your life. Whether or not your abuser was punished for their actions, the mental, physical, and emotional toll continues, affecting your relationships and health. And if the abuse happened while you were in a school, in your place of employment, or in an organization that was supposed to keep you safe, the questions linger.

How could they have let that happen to me?

Why didn't they see?

How can I finally have peace with this?

In Defeating the Darkness - Hope, Healing, and Justice: Preventing Sexual Assault in Our Schools and Institutions, Heather Brown shows you how to take back your power and make things right. You'll hear the stories of others like you who went from being victims to becoming heroes who fought for justice and helped protect others from enduring similar abuse.

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

- understand why what happened is not your fault

- navigate your options within the U.S. legal system

- find the right attorney and know what to expect moving forward

If you experienced sexual abuse within a school, organization, or institution meant to protect you, you have the chance to make things right - not just for you, but for others, too.
