#NoDIRT is a vocal and freeing mindset for survivors of sexual abuse, a challenge for those who love and support survivors, and a demand of sorts to those who are unsure of where they stand when it comes to sexual abuse. Countless survivors of (child) sexual abuse have endured the absence of truth and the pain of feeling shame, inadequacy, and hopelessness. They’ve expressed being coerced to secrecy and left to cope with the rejection that’s often times associated with sexual abuse. Many survivors have endured blame, judgment, and intimidation from their abuser(s), friends and family, all of which causes the dirt that they’ll work tirelessly to remove. Get the Word Out, Inc. emphasizes #NoDIRT and actively engages in opportunities to bring truth to light, explore complex issues around sexual abuse and empower survivors to live their best lives.
