Today, more than ever before, survivors of gender-based violence are coming forward to share their stories. They're not just asking to be heard. They're demanding that society finally, fundamentally change.
Creating change through the power of survivor storytelling is what The Voices and Faces Project is all about. And in 2019, eight years after we piloted The Stories We Tell, our immersive, two-day testimonial writing program for survivors of gender-based violence and other human rights violations, we're creating more change than ever before.
Over 900 writer-activists have taken part in our groundbreaking testimonial writing program, which has traveled across the North American and African continents. Most recently, we've expanded The Stories We Tell to reach refugees and undocumented immigrants (through our partnership with RefuSHE in Nairobi, Kenya) and court-involved girls (through an alliance with the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center in Chicago).
We've taken our award-winning storytelling program to people and places we never imagined, but we can't continue to do so without you. Please consider a year-end gift to The Voices and Faces Project. Every $650 raised will allow us to provide a full, two-day scholarship to someone waiting to take part in The Stories We Tell. Thanks, in advance, for your support.
