You may know me from my poem “Fool, Anticipation,” which I wrote at a very low period. I was only a young woman, when my life had spiraled out of control due to the fact I was raped and had become pregnant. But you don't have to be alone in your journey. Together, we can heal.

especially when young and unsure of yourself, like I was. I didn’t even tell my best friends for months after it happened and I realize now how much that contributed to my bad decisions. If something happened to you, you need to talk to someone to heal. That’s why I started this website.
Sexual assault happens in many different ways and can be just as destructive. Maybe you have a relative who made you uncomfortable, a date who coerced you into something, or a coach who touched you. Perhaps it was innocuous, maybe it wasn’t, but it’s known the vast majority of sexual assaults happen from someone you know and trust, and if you think what happened was wrong, it probably was.
This website serves as a safe space where you can anonymously share your story, contributing to a better understanding of your experience. Your shared stories will be a valuable resource for others, allowing them to learn and gain awareness from real-life experiences. And this site is not just for women. Sexual assaults happen to young men as well and are every bit as destructive. Keeping a secret is too high a price to pay.
That I know from personal experience.
– Edna Rose Doyle
