It's heart-breaking to hear yet another story of abvse... it can peeI away a person's voice, innocence and power to make trust themselves in making choices.... not to mention how difficult it can be to open up and trust again.

The significance of education and awareness in addressing s*xual violence is paramount rn.

What a magical moment for Vanessa when she realised she could be a strong and powerful victor.

This is truly powerful. Thank you.

Ultimately we all have a choice of who we want to be; a victor or a victim. The victors chose to embrace their courage and resilience - by no means an easy task.

If a story can help someone release their depression or PTSD and take the first steps to recovery I'm all for that.

The thought of our stories being able to have a global impact has really sent me... I feel like if there were better platforms for getting our stories and experiences out there it'd be a lot easier to contribute to positive change on a larger scale but I guess RU-vid is a pretty big one and everyone has access to it soooo.... maybe it's just that people go looking for what they want

Vanessa's journey of healing and empowerment through storytelling is truly inspiring... It shows us the potential for personal growth and positive change.

@jacquelinehogan3313 Год назад

truly eye-opening. The personal story shared was incredibly moving and reminded us of the resilience and strength that lies within individuals who have experienced s*xual violence.

@rubylcharlotte Год назад

This is a powerful reminder that the impact of a single story can be life-changing for both the listener and the storyteller.

We are at a cross roads in many facets of what it means to be human - if we can't ensure that empathy and compassion are the drivers in education that can make or break someones understanding of such vulnerable topics, we will surely lose. Thank you Vanessa for this, really really appreciated.

As the woman shared her story of triumph over violence, the impact was palpable. Amy, standing in the crowd, felt a surge of empowerment, realizing that she too could rise above her past.

@TheJazHong Год назад

My heart goes out to all the Amys and Vanessas in the world. I cannot begin to image the burden of being sxually abused and the flow on affect it would have on your life.

@LocomateMachine Год назад

Attending that event was a turning point for Amy... She went in hoping to raise awareness, but little did she know that she would find the inspiration she needed to overcome her own struggles!

@jackiehathway Год назад

It's inspiring to hear how despite carrying heavy bags from her past, the speaker was able to use education as a tool for healing and empowerment, and become the first in her family to graduate from high school and receive a full-ride scholarship to university

My brother-in-law was abused by his older brother thirty years ago and it has taken him this long to talk about it and only because his brother died.

@chezravvy Год назад

The personal accounts shared here shed light on the lasting impact of s-xual vioIence. It's crucial that we support survivors and encourage them to find their voice.

The brain activity research mentioned here highlights the neurological impact of storytelling. It reinforces the notion that storytelling is deeply ingrained in our human experience.
