12TH GRADE CAPSTONE
What are the global services provided to female victims of sexual assault and how do they contribute to the long term safety and independence of these survivors?
Experiences such sexual abuse these can be socially and emotionally isolating, whether that be due to outside speculation, the abusers, or the women themselves. My goal in researching this topic is to educate myself on this issue that continues to make an appearance in our everyday world and spread that knowledge to those around me, so that we can truly understand the severity of this issue. For my product, I hope to create a writing platform in the form of a website for victims of sexual violence to submit journal entries and receive support and empowerment from women worldwide. I want this website to have a long lasting impact on our current society and establish a collective culture of women who are able to be open about their experiences and provide support for one another.
