Our Mission

Mission Statement

To help survivors of abuse reclaim their voice — sharing their stories safely and anonymously, connecting them with support, and shining a light on experiences too often kept in the dark.

About Us

Stronger in the Light is a survivor-centered project built on a simple idea: no one should have to carry their story alone. Through an anonymous story map, an aggregated survey, and a curated library of resources, we give survivors a way to be counted and be heard. Our goal is to turn isolated experiences into collective understanding, so survivors know they are far from alone and the public can grasp how widespread these experiences truly are.

Privacy first

Anonymous by design, with protections built into every feature.

Survivor-led

Survivors decide what to share, and how. Always.

Hope & healing

Connecting people to support and to one another.
