who we are
The Survivors Circle is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting male survivors of sexual trauma, particularly those in urban communities worldwide. Our mission is grounded in four key pillars: Research, Advocacy, Empowerment, and Safety.
1. Research: We are committed to advancing the knowledge base surrounding male sexual trauma. Partnering with universities and research institutions, we delve into the unique needs, experiences, and recovery paths of survivors. We focus particularly on the link between socioeconomic factors and the prevalence of sexual abuse among males in urban communities. Our research aids in creating more effective, informed, and tailored interventions for survivors.
2. Advocacy: We strive to amplify the voices of male survivors and affect meaningful change in public awareness, societal attitudes, and policies. Through targeted campaigns and engagements with lawmakers and other organizations, we work to ensure that male sexual trauma is recognized, understood, and addressed at every level of society.
3. Empowerment: We believe that survivors should have access to resources that can help them rebuild their lives. Our resource portal and empowerment programs aim to help survivors regain their sense of self, build resilience, and navigate their journey to wholeness. We also provide academic support and mentorship to aid survivors in overcoming academic hurdles and realizing their full potential.
4. Safety: We understand the profound importance of safety in the healing process. The Survivors Circle strives to provide a secure, supportive environment where survivors can express themselves without fear. We work to establish safety guidelines and protocols and collaborate with relevant organizations to offer safety workshops.
Through these pillars, The Survivors Circle seeks to offer a holistic, comprehensive support system for male survivors of sexual trauma. We see the survivor behind the statistics, we acknowledge their experiences, and we are committed to helping them move from merely surviving to thriving.
our promise

Our organization is dedicated to transforming the narrative around male sexual trauma, shifting focus from statistics to individuals, from stigma to acceptance, and from trauma to healing.
