Voice Up For The Voiceless
Angela Williams and Katy Sudano
We interview survivors of child sexual abuse and exploitation, allowing them to share their stories of survival. We also are hearing from advocates working in the trenches on the issue of child sexual abuse rescue, restoration, and prevention.
We believe that through communication and education, the stigma of child sexual abuse can be removed from the victim and placed on the predator, where it belongs. By giving this epidemic visibility, we can focus society on the issue and, as a result, become a VOICE for the voiceless.
