Imagine a force so powerful it shatters lives, yet remains hidden in silence—sexual assault is that force.
In the US, "1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men have faced this trauma." - National Sexual Violence Resource Center
Yet only "1 in 5 survivors receive the help they need. Fear, disbelief, and stigma often keep them from coming forward." - RAINN
The toll is immense, not just emotionally, but financially too, with "costs exceeding $3.1 billion annually." - National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
The ripple effects disrupt education, work, mental health, and relationships. Understanding these impacts is just the beginning.
The real question is: how do we drive change?​
The answer is our approach to turning survivors' pain into advocacy through a powerful community. While survivors' stories often become statistics with no further action, Arella aims to transform data from mere numbers into compelling human experiences, shedding light on the aftermath and empowering survivors to advocate for legal reforms and a safer society.
​
Systemic change happens not only within Arella but also through friends and family who may not have personally experienced sexual assault but recognize the injustice and are motivated to contribute. By building a powerful community and using survivors' stories to unite on policies collectively, we create a community ready to act. This influence extends to securing the support of local leaders to advance our vision of changing laws, enacting policies that support survivors, and imposing harsher punishments for offenders.
"Mentorship programs enhance self-efficacy, reduce isolation, and support personal growth." - Journal of Mentoring & Tutoring
Each of us has encountered someone who inspired us to dream bigger and strive for better. Arella is on a mission to be that catalyst for survivors, helping them rise above adversity.
Together, we can make a profound difference—it ignites with one connection.
