CTV National News calls it “three numbers that could make all the difference in saving lives.”
Sexual misconduct is hazardous to your health.
Telling your story can change the world.
Advocacy
From our sunshine law adopted by the federal government and our call for a national action plan to address gender-based violence and suicide risks to career rebuilding innovations like our Hire Us Back campaign, our advocacy and media outreach is not just changing lives. It’s saving them.
Outreach
Our Outreach Clinic has provided lived experience and mentoring support for victims one-on-one since its founding. Not even TimesUpNow does that.
Ending institutional betrayal
Gender-based violence and sexual harassment are horrific enough when it comes to the actions of the individual predator. But when the collective mind of a large organizations enables their abuse, or acts to protect them, the harm inflicted on the victim can be even more traumatic.
Fighting for healing. It’s my story.

That’s why I’m sharing my story. It’s a classic case of institutional betrayal.

I am a firm believer in women - in their ability to do things and in their influence and power.
Disturbers are never popular...
Never retreat, never explain, never apologize - get the thing done and let them howl.
I saw what could be done with words, for I had a vision of a new world as I talked.
You have to make more noise than anybody else, you have to make yourself more obtrusive than anybody else...
...you have to fill all the papers more than anybody else...
...in fact you have to be there all the time and see that they do not snow you under.
Trust in God - she will provide.
Those men and women are fortunate who are born at a time when a great struggle for human freedom is in progress.
We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers.
