More than 18% of the world's population are victims of direct physical sexual violence.
Less than 13% ever tell anyone or get help. That’s 1.14 billion people suffering in silence.
MapYourVoice is here to change that.
There are many barriers to speaking up.
MapYourVoice is a free, anonymous nonprofit service for sexual violence survivors worldwide. Our mission is to give every survivor a safe, therapeutic place to reclaim their voices and get support.
