Awareness and positive action are the best ways to prevent sexual violence. So we'd like you to share your stories, experiences, and opinions. Don't worry, we won't print your real name, or anyone else's for that matter, and you might just help someone prevent violence or just feel better about their own experiences.

Tell us how you've successfully stopped a coercive or uncomfortable sexual encounter. Or ask other visitors their opinion of an unclear sexual situation. Share your strategies for intervening on behalf of a friend. If you didn't intervene in a questionable situation, tell us how that made you feel. Have you pushed someone in a way you regret? Did you participate in a sexual situation that you now see as coercive or forced? You're not alone. None of us are. Unfortunately, most of us have experienced some kind of sexual assault, non-consensual sex, or relationship violence.

We can use our voices to create awareness, lessen the pain, and make sure it doesn't happen again. E-mail your stories, perspectives, and questions to info@voicesnotvictims.org subject line "stories"
