Emerge issues strong disapproval to @Dailymirror_SL’s unethical article conflating rape and consent. #dailynews #srilankamedia #childsexualabuse #awareness #EthicalStorytelling #EndAbuse

It is important that we validate the experience of a survivor. Our words and actions have power. We encourage you to speak up if you see this being challenged.

Asking "how" or "why" questions do not help the survivors process of healing. It is important to remember that no matter the relationship or association, we are never entitled to details of a survivors story.

Emerge will always advocate for a world where survivors will heal at their own pace, uninfluenced by judgment or pressure.

Trauma and Healing is not "one size fits all". We must learn to respect the perimeters of a survivor and honor their own journey of healing.

Finding our own little ways to practice self-care can add value to how we spend our day. What would be your addition to this list?

Survivors do not owe us the details of their trauma; but they deserve the encouragement to heal. We are so proud of each programme participant we support for healing at their own pace.

Thank you for supporting #FundForEmerge. Your donations mean that we can CONTINUE to provide transformative programming for survivors. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💖
Consent is informed, empowered and clear.
"No" must be respected and not challenged.
"No" will always be a full and clear sentence.

This powerful phrase can support them in understanding that survivors of sexual assault or any type of abuse are never at fault.

It takes a lot of courage and trust for a survivor to confide in you with their traumatic experience.
