Voices in Action
puts the power back in the hands of survivors.
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit founded by Silence Breakers that works to provide protection and safety from incidents of sexual misconduct in the entertainment industry and beyond while supporting survivors and fighting for abusers to be held accountable for their actions through a holistic approach of services.
This is how we do that.
A UNIQUE REPORTING AND DOCUMENTING SYSTEM
Our private, online reporting system allows individuals to detail and document incidents of misconduct to timestamp and save for if or when they feel ready and safe to come forward.
ABILITY TO TRACK & ALERT ON SERIAL PERPETRATORS
Studies show abusers are often repeat offenders. Our system sends optional alerts to individuals whose perpetrator has been named by another individual.
INNOVATIVE PROTECTION
& PREVENTION TECH
We bring 21st century technology solutions to the table to develop groundbreaking means of protection for workers that is aimed at preventing incidents of sexual abuse and misconduct from happening in the first place.
TRAUMA-INFORMED SURVIVOR SUPPORT
As survivors, we know the journey of healing doesn’t end after we report. It’s only the beginning. We stand with survivors through the entire process by providing free or affordable easy-access support groups, workshops, and more.
WE HAVE A VISION OF A WORLD THAT PUNISHES ABUSERS, NOT VICTIMS.
