Story library

Stories from women who chose to share, so you know you are believed and you are not the only one.

Every story was shared anonymously and with permission. A person read each one and removed names and identifying details before it was published.

Some stories describe abuse and violence. Read at your own pace, and step away whenever you need to. If you need to talk to someone now, call the RAINN hotline at 800-656-4673, or text HOME to 741741. More ways to get help
