WHO WE ARE +
WHAT WE DO
Voices in Action is a survivor-founded and led 501(c)3 nonprofit changing the intersectional culture of sexual assault through innovative technology and modern research based in trauma and pyschological research. We offer an equitable, independent platform for documenting and timestamping incidents of sexual misconduct and violence while tracking serial perpetrators and providing trauma-informed support.
We envision a world in which Survivors are believed, women are listened to, and reporting sexual assault followed by fair and reasonable investigations are the norm rather than the exception. We do this by fighting for the mandating of prevention and protection policies, representation and inclusion in the workplace, better training and educational practices, and healing support for those who have been harmed will change the world into a safer world for us all.

A PRIVATE & SECURE WAY TO DOCUMENT AND TIMESTAMP SEXUAL ASSAULT & MISCONDUCT
Our private and independent reporting database allows individuals to detail and document incidents of misconduct to timestamp and save as evidence for if or when they feel ready and safe to come forward.
THE ABILITY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR ABUSER HAS HARMED OTHERS
Studies show abusers are often repeat offenders. Our unique database is the first of its kind that matches serial offenders and sends optional alerts to individuals whose perpetrator has been named by another individual.
FREE TRAUMA-INFORMED LEGAL CONSULTATIONS
Through our partnership with the National Crime Victims Bar Association, survivors of sexual assault may receive free referrals for trauma-informed legal counsel in their area. Legal counsel determines if victims of the same abuser are able to connect.
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 provide continued support through accessible and affordable support groups, workshops, healing and empowerment courses, and more.
who we help
Sexual assault affects us all. Anyone who has been exploited, coerced, or manipulated through sexual-related activity and/or has been forced to engage in sexual-related acts against their will are victims of sexual assault, which all rests on a very wide spectrum of issues ranging from abuser of power in the workplace to rape.
We are here to protect everyone. That includes victims of:
Unfortunately, the list goes on.
If you think you have experienced abuse or assault, don’t question yourself. There are many resources to help you navigate and answer the questions you might have.
We are one.
why we do it
The numbers say it all. Despite the prgoress made in recent years, research shows that the alarmingly high number of sexual assaults and rapes go unreported while the vast majority of perpetrators receive impunity, receiving no prosectuion and facing little repercussion.
