These statistics combine public survivor stories with survey responses shown in aggregate to show patterns that are often hidden when experiences are treated as isolated events.
Story numbers come from submissions shared with Stronger in the Light™, including mapped locations when enough location detail was provided. Survey charts use aggregated responses, and detailed breakdowns are hidden until enough people have answered to reduce the risk of identifying anyone.
The goal is not to turn individual experiences into abstractions. It is to make the scale, timing, disclosure patterns, and justice outcomes easier to see so survivors, advocates, researchers, and communities can respond with better context.
Each bar is a share of all 315 responses — showing how few reports reach each stage. (Separately, 73% told someone they knew.)
