The stories you'll find here, shared by folks from our LGBTQIA+ community in New Jersey, aren't just stories. They're reminders of incredible strength and resilience that shine through after surviving something as tough as sexual violence.

These tales also show how vital LGBTQIA+ support groups are—they're safe havens where survivors can heal, find justice, and feel empowered.

​

As we listen to these real-life experiences and take in the lessons shared, we grow. We become better at tackling sexual violence and creating a world that's more caring for everyone. Let these stories be our guiding light, a source of courage and togetherness as we keep pushing to break the cycle of sexual violence and support survivors on their path to healing and strength.
