Sexual assault is often shrouded in silence, leaving survivors to navigate trauma alone. This presentation explores the social, psychological, and emotional impacts of sexual assault, the reasons survivors may feel unable to speak out, and how communities can foster support, understanding, and empowerment. Participants will gain insight into breaking cycles of silence, addressing stigma, and creating safe spaces for survivors to be heard and believed.
