WRITINGS ON THE WALL

A PLACE FOR SURVIVORS TO SPEAK UP AND BE SEEN BY THEMSELVES IN OTHER STORIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

  • This project started with a story.

    When I shared my own experience, I didn’t expect what came next—people began reaching out, quietly and often for the first time, with stories of their own. Some were similar. Some were very different. Many were things they had never said out loud before.

    It became clear that these stories aren’t isolated. They exist everywhere, often unseen and uncounted.

    The purpose of this space is to give those experiences somewhere to exist—anonymously, safely, and without pressure. It’s a place to be heard, even if only in a small, quiet way.

    Over time, I also hope to better understand the patterns behind these stories. Not to investigate or expose individuals, but to recognize where systems may be failing people, and how often experiences like these are minimized, mishandled, or dismissed.

    Right now, this is a simple beginning—collecting and holding stories with care. What it becomes will depend on what people choose to share.

  • This space is built with a few core priorities: respect, anonymity, and care.

    Stories are shared anonymously. You are not required to include names, locations, or identifying details, and anything submitted may be lightly edited to protect privacy.

    This is not an investigative platform. Stories are not verified, and this space does not make claims about specific individuals or cases. Instead, it exists to hold personal experiences as they are shared.

    Patterns may be observed over time. As stories are collected, general trends or themes may be noted in aggregate. Any effort to visualize or organize this information (such as broad geographic patterns) will prioritize anonymity and avoid identifying individuals or specific cases.

    This is an evolving project. Right now, stories may be collected and organized in simple ways as the project grows. Future features will be guided by what feels most responsible, safe, and useful for the people sharing here.

    Care comes first. This space is not a substitute for professional support. If you need immediate help, please seek out a trusted person or a support resource.

    The goal is simple: to listen, to make space, and to take these experiences seriously.

  • There are a few simple ways to be part of this space. Whether you’re here to listen, share, or support—each one matters.

    Read Stories
    Take time to read through anonymous submissions from others.
    Simply reading and holding space for these experiences can be a meaningful form of support.

    Share Your Story
    If you feel ready, you can share your own experience.
    You can remain completely anonymous, and you choose what to include.
    To protect yourself and others, please avoid sharing identifying details unless they are already part of a public, confirmed case outcome.
    There’s no right way to tell your story—just what feels okay for you.

    → Submit your story

    Share This Space
    One of the most meaningful ways to help is simply to share this project.

    If it resonates with you, consider sharing this page with trusted friends and/or on social feeds to boost visibility.

    The more people who know this space exists, the more stories can be heard, and the less alone people may feel.

    Support the Project
    If you’d like to help sustain and grow this space, you can make a small donation.
    Contributions go toward maintaining the platform, improving safety features, and expanding how stories are collected and understood over time.

    Let this be a reminder we don’t need to go through this alone. The time of being quiet is up. Justice for Survivors.

HI, I’M BROOKLYN, AND I’M A SURVIVOR OF CSA AND CSAM.

It has been only through the bravery of others paving the way that I have found within myself the courage to come forward as a survivor of Child Sexual Assault and Sex Trafficking.

Since speaking out on my social media pages, many others have come forward with very similar stories and other disturbing circumstances that have been far too long swept under the rug. I know I can’t change the world all by myself, but maybe together, we can all make a difference in our own way.

That’s why I created Writings on the Wall, a place where other survivors or advocates can come forward with their own truths. Everyone is invited to join in whichever way they feel called. There will be a monthly newsletter (starting May 1st), there is currently a collected list of comments made anonymous on my posts, and below there are ways to submit your own stories and follow along with this movement otherwise.

Check out the resources recommended as well for survivors of abuse, and let me know if there are any suggestions or additions that could be added. After all, we’re all in this together.

Thank you for being here and I want to say that I’m inspired and encouraged by each and every one of us who have come together to push for the justice we all deserve and for future generations to come.
