'VOICES
of Strength' is an Audio Documentary for Rape and Sexual
Abuse Survivors. My name is Haullie Free; I am the founder
of this informative and inspiring CD and I invite you to
journey with me on a quest for personal enlightenment and
self validation, through the power of the human voice.
15 Male and Female Rape and Sexual Abuse Survivors
recorded their story in an effort to help foster awareness
and break the silence surrounding this issue, on a CD that
not only tells our stories to help inspire the
world, but is also filled with inspiring messages to
help you heal and cope in the aftermath of rape and
sexual abuse.
An estimated 1 in 3 women
and 1 in 8 men are survivors of the
world's second leading crime.
A crime that too often receives limited
attention because of it's exposing nature. No one
should feel ashamed of being a survivor; everyone deserves
the right to speak out. We are on a mission to expose the truth and lift the rug on the mis-interpretation that the
only rapists that exist are the ones who hide behind dark
alley ways preying on damsels in distress. The truth is; a
rapist can be anyone and anywhere. Rape and Sexual Abuse
Survivors are just as diverse; they are your doctors, your
lawyers, your authors, your housewives, your sales people,
your friends and yes, even your family members.
We hope that by ordering and listening to this CD and
browseing through this informative web site, whether
you are a survivor, a secondary survivor, or a supporter
of survivors; that you will find the courage to help break
the silence with us so that we can learn to help represent
the survivors world-wide, change
the laws, reach out to others, raise awareness, stop the
self blame and the shame that is associated with this
crime, and make a difference in the world.
The most important message is that we are
not alone, and that there is a place for all who desire
the strength to heal and move forward in their lives.
Share this CD and it's following
projects with the world give one as a gift to a friend in
need, spread the word and reach out.
"be the change you wish to see in the
world" -Gandhi
We all have a voice. Every story is unique and every story
deserves to be heard. The reason I chose to use the human
voice as a conduit for expressing our aftermath and to
help raise awareness is simple, it had never been done
before. Things that haven't been done, should be done,
just like the change we need in society. To make a
difference is what impacts lives. If it takes me telling
my story as many times as need be, I'm alongside all
survivors to help break the silence.
Refusing to stay silent is empowering to the
human condition. Please browse this site
as a tool for your personal healing. We offer a lot of
information for Rape and Sexual Abuse Survivors as well as a lot
of Inspirational tools and resources as well.
I also run a radio show online with Ginger
Gillenwater called
'Survivor Radio Cafe'. An online radio show that is
geared toward survivors of any trauma. We are all a survivor of
something whether it's sexual abuse, domestic violence, chronic
illness or cancer, P.T.S.D., Mental Illness...ect, and it is
important to understand that we are not alone. We can heal and
bring awareness to some of the most personal issues facing this
world today.
Love & Support,
