The badge and webring is for survivors of rape, sexual trauma, or sexual abuse. Living with any the aftermath of any of these problems sometimes seems impossible. Therefore; it is with great courage that survivors go forward to face each day.
The Survivor's
Badge Of
Courage was created to honor
abuse survivors, to draw attention to the bravery shown by survivors, and
to heighten awareness of these ever increasing problems.
We as survivors often feel as if we must live in
a closet or wear a mask, never exposing our true selves. This symbol of
courage is to help lessen the isolation we face as we seek to heal.
Facing trauma and becoming a survivor shouldn't leave us stigmatized. It should leave us feeling victorious. However, as any abuse survivor will tell you, being an abuse victim leaves us wanting to hide in a hole.
If you are a survivor with a home page (It doesn't have to be on recovery) email me and I will proudly give you instructions on obtaining your badge or information on how to join the webring, whichever you are interested in.
