Upcoming Events (2023)

According to a study conducted by Gallup, safety is one of the critical needs of community members. As leaders, the systems, cultures, and values that we create can either damage or promote a sense of safety, particularly for people who have experienced trauma. In this workshop, learn the primary components of emotional safety and practical ways to transform your systems. Register here.

Are you a survivor of sexual abuse looking for a community of support? When sexual abuse happens, feelings of hopelessness can take over. But you are not alone. Reclaim is a support group for survivors of sexual assault to help survivors reclaim their voice, body, and hope. This will be a safe space for survivors to share practices that support their healing journey after sexual violence. Register here.

1 in 3 women are survivors of sexual abuse worldwide. Putting this into context, this means one-third of your female relationships at work, church, or in your family may have experienced sexual abuse. Knowing this might change the way we support survivors of sexual abuse in our communities. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, corporate manager, parent, or student, we can all play a transformative role in preventing sexual violence wherever we are. Partnering with faith-based organizations, Freely in Hope is excited to invite you to this hybrid event that equips faith leaders with survivor-led solutions to combat sexual abuse. We believe that faith-based organizations can be a leading example that transforms abusive systems into sanctuaries of safety throughout our world. Register here.

When Children Find Their Voice: Building Safety From Where I Stand

I used to dream of a community where children could grow up not feeling afraid. Where women didn’t have to scream every night. Where survivors could rise as leaders and lean into their lived experiences to bring the change they wanted to see. The dream didn’t come from some abstract place, it came from living in Kibera, from knowing what it feels like when poverty exposes girls to vulnerabilities, from understanding firsthand what happens when children don’t have the language to recognize violence as it’s happening to them.

Principles of Survivor-Centered Ethical Storytelling for Nonprofits

The “survivor complex” is real, and it deeply impacts the people we walk alongside. The survivor complex is a psychological and relational pattern that develops when a person has survived trauma and begins to relate to themselves primarily through the identity of “survivor.” It often forms because systems, communities, and even support programs repeatedly reinforce this identity, sometimes unintentionally.

Q& A From Pain to Power – The Super Girls Revolution with Magdalene

As a survivor of sexual violence, I started SGR in my mother’s backyard because the need to ensure girls were supported through mentorship, education, and empowerment was so urgent. My dream was always consistent: to mentor girls to take up space and be leaders, allowing every light in the community to shine.
