WHO WE ARE
Voices in Action is a survivor-founded and led 501(c)3 nonprofit that fights to change the culture of sexual misconduct and violence through a holistic and innovative set of services and programming that work to protect and prevent incidents of abuse, provide advocacy and support to victims, empower survivors, uncover serial perpetrators, and hold abusers accountable for their actions.
This is how we do that.
A PRIVATE AND SECURE WAY TO DOCUMENT AND TIMESTAMP ABUSE
Our private and secure reporting database 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. Here’s how it works and why it’s important.
THE ABILITY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR ABUSER HAS HARMED OTHERS
Studies show abusers are often repeat offenders. Our system sends optional alerts to individuals whose perpetrator has been named by another individual. Here’s how it works and why it’s important.
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 ADVOCACY AND SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS
As survivors, we know the journey of healing doesn’t end after we come forward; it’s only the beginning. We support survivors through the entire process by providing free or affordable access support groups, workshops, and more.
WE HAVE A VISION OF A WORLD THAT PUNISHES ABUSERS, NOT VICTIMS.
