Team SOAR

WHO ARE WE?

We are 23 passionate, dynamic, and educated women committed to promoting understanding, awareness and acceptance, of survivors of sexual violence. Our goal is to advocate for positive changes within our communties, as well as the state and federal level, to end the ever-present global epidemic of sexual violence.

Yes, we are the 1 in 4 statistic.

We are survivors of incest, molestation, drug-facilitated rape, partner rape, non-stranger rape, and stranger rape. Yet, we are also just like you or someone you know. We are your daughters, mothers, sisters, wives, partners, friends, colleagues and your neighbors.

We invite you to learn more about us...
