C. Kimberly Toms, survivor
Why share your story with RAINN?
For many survivors of sexual violence, speaking out is an act of reclamation, healing, and advocacy.
Your story + RAINN’s reach can:
- Help other survivors feel less alone.
- Demand laws that make communities safer and hold perpetrators accountable.
- Inspire others to show up, step in, and speak out.
“Sexual assault was probably one of the most impactful traumas of my life. I have had to find a deep inner strength and resilience that fuels me to speak out against sexual assault and rape culture. It took a new level of determination and confidence to report my sexual assault, speak my truth, and fight for justice.”
Anna Murphy, survivor
“By speaking openly, I hope to break the silence around sexual assault, reduce stigma, and help create a world where survivors are empowered, not blamed. My story is no longer just about what happened to me—it’s about using my voice to make a difference for others.”
AllieMac, survivor
