Here, you’ll find articles that explore topics such as consent, survivor support, prevention strategies, and the broader cultural and systemic issues that shape our work.
Our goal is to provide accessible, thoughtful content for survivors, allies, educators, and community members alike. Expect practical tools, personal insights, and updates on Our Voice programs and initiatives.
Together, through knowledge and dialogue, we can create a safer and more just world.
Getting More Involved with Our Voice
As someone who works at Our Voice, I get to witness every day just how vital our volunteers are to the work we do. Whether it’s a crisis line volunteer comforting a survivor at 2 a.m., or a prevention volunteer leading a classroom discussion about healthy relationships, our volunteers are the heartbeat of this organization.
If you’re passionate about social justice, survivor advocacy, or prevention education, we’d love to have you join us.
What Do Fries Have to Do with Consent? Let’s Talk About It.
The idea of “Consent Fries” is one of the clearest, most down-to-earth ways to understand what real, healthy consent looks like. And when we say “consent,” we’re not just talking about sex—we’re talking about boundaries in all types of relationships: emotional, physical, digital, romantic, and beyond.
At Our Voice, we work every day to support survivors of sexual violence and to educate our community about how to build safer, more respectful relationships. Consent is a cornerstone of that work, and breaking it down in a way that’s relatable makes the conversation easier for everyone to join.
Breaking Down the Stereotypes of Sexual Violence
Sexual violence is far more complex and widespread than common stereotypes suggest. At Our Voice, we know that breaking stereotypes isn’t simply about correcting misconceptions—it’s about creating space for healing, justice, and change. When we root our advocacy in truth and empathy, we foster a world where survivors are supported, and cycles of violence are interrupted.
