Victims Of Incest
Founded in 2022 by
Victims of Incest (VOI) is the first nonprofit that address strictly incest, which is a subject that is a taboo to most and swept under the rug.
When you think of the word incest you get a gross feeling well because that’s EXACTLY what is it. Being a victim of this is even worse! Our mission is to end incest (sexual assault by a family member) through awareness, healing, empowerment, and social change.
VOI provides free, confidential support and services to survivors of Incest for all ages and their families and friends. We work with survivors of all genders, and our goal is to empower survivors to heal and seek justice in ways that are meaningful to them. We meet the needs of survivors in crisis and long after, and we also assist them as they navigate the health-care, criminal legal, social service, and school systems.
We take the knowledge we learn from survivors and from current research out into the community. We work with a wide range of schools, campuses, community groups, and organizations. These include middle and high schools, colleges, police, health-care providers, businesses, and more. We advocate for change and work with them to help them understand their role in making their environment safe and preventing this from happening or putting an end to it. We do this by offering training, on topics such as how to respond to survivor's disclosures. We provide concrete tools and technical assistance to help create policies and practices that prevent incest (sexual assault by a family member) in the first place. Our response and prevention programs are based on research and more than 26 years of experience with this subject from the founder.
