We Are Jane Doe.
Every person, no matter their age or gender, deserves to feel safe.
Come together as survivors and allies to show your support and advocate for change by wearing any form of "I am Jane Doe" on October 29th.
Problems that can't be seen struggle to be solved.
The "I am Jane Doe" stories have been pouring out across socials, but the scale of our problem can't be fully understood on a screen with the algorithm working for the men who created them.
It's time to show up just as much off-screen as on.
It's time for the size of this collective wound to be seen by all.
Wear "I am Jane Doe" and get visible on Oct. 29th
Write "I am Jane Doe" on your hand, shirt, or significant object/sign with paint or marker. Students and alumni can show up for survivors at your own high school or university by choosing a shirt in your school's colors. You can also get something ready to wear from the shop below, where 100% of net profits go to supporting nonprofits supporting victims of sexual assault and violence.
All are welcome to join and show support.
The Thursday before Halloween weekend allows visibility while also serving as a reminder to speak up at parties, protect others, and stay safe.
Jane Doe is facing threats to her life. It's time to get visible to start a bigger conversation with those in power before midterm elections in the US.
Momentum is building, but we need to keep the pressure up. We can give a voice to the invisible wounds that have been forced quiet for far too long.
We know hurt people hurt people, but that's no excuse for sexual crimes against children, women, and men. Survivors deserve stronger protections and support.
Abusers will keep doing it if they can get away with it. We need harsher punishments along with therapy for the abusers.

This problem is not going away any time soon.
Boys and girls of all ages are sexually abused by family members, older kids, neighbors, babysitters, people in the religious institutions and others who are supposed to be taking care of them...
Boys are still at risk, but girls' are exponentially more in danger because now their peers can be predators too (in addition to the people who were dangerous in their childhood).
Although men are still victims, women continue to be exponentially more vulnerable. Our society has existed on systems of patriarchy, colonization, and misogyny that have led to the normalization of rape culture and violence against women.
