A DANCER'S MOVEMENT TO STOP SEXUAL ABUSE

A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

There are more than 1,000 sexual abuse victims every day. Imagine... that’s one new one per minute.

The purpose of A Dancer’s Movement to Stop Sexual Abuse is primarily, but not exclusively, to reach out to dancers around the world, to create a united front for this cause, and to raise awareness for sexual abuse.

We choose dance as our platform because we want to lift the taboo on sexual abuse by providing it with a positive platform to share with others. We also believe in the power of movement in connection to healing from past traumas.

There are three main focus areas for our efforts:

Support and coach victims to overcome the trauma of sexual abuse and help them to lead a thriving life instead of just surviving

Raise awareness in society through speaking events, social media outreach, and building a community of dancers and people who care for this cause, either within or outside the nonprofit.

Educate and empower women, men, especially young adults. A Dancer’s Movement to Stop Sexual Abuse has developed specific workshops and trainings to educate people about this topic.

We firmly believe that through these focus areas, the silence and isolation from sexual abuse can be broken and replaced with awareness and the ability to take empowering action. This will result in a lower number of sexual abuse victims, and better lives for those struggling with past traumas.

PROJECTS THAT MATTER TO STOP SEXUAL ABUSE

ONE LESS STORY TO TELL

To tell that you were sexually abused is not easy, but it will make a difference. Not only for you but also for others who have been abused. You can make a difference by telling YOUR story and giving sexual abuse a face. Tell Your Story so there is One Less Story to Tell! A Dancer's Movement to Stop Sexual Abuse has started the movement 1less2tell to break the silence and lift the taboo on Sexual Abuse.

BROKEN SILENCE

In his book BROKEN SILENCE: Living with Passion and Purpose after Sexual Abuse, A Dancer's Story, Jean Dorff tells his story of sexual abuse. The effects it had on his life and how he now thrives instead of just survives. He hopes to give others the courage to tell their story and to break the silence too. Part of the proceeds of his book will go directly to this Non-Profit Organization.

Broken Silence
WOMEN's EMPOWERMENT EVENTS

Healing from sexual abuse and domestic violence can take years. A holistic approach: body, mind, and soul often gives the best result. There is strength in growing and overcoming ordeals together. Our Women's Empowerment Events are focused on creating a life on your terms, despite or perhaps even because of what you have been through.

Women Empowerment
WOMEN's SELFDEFENSE CLASSES

These classes will increase fortitude both physically and mentally. They provide an understanding and recognition of behavioral signals and patterns in ourselves and others that can prevent unpleasant and harmful situations. They will boost confidence and help turn negative situations into a positive outcome.
