This started as a LiveJournal thread about surviving rape, but has grown to include many other survivors of various forms of violence. It hit a big nerve - in just over a day, there were 21 pages of responses.

This is about being public in regard to something that is normally kept a very big, very dark secret, thus ensuring that we can all pretend that This Sort Of Thing Doesn't Happen To People Like You And Me.

It does happen to people like you and me. Trust me, I know.

I'm Hanne. I'm a survivor of sexual violence.
No Pity. No Shame. No Silence.
