our story

Space to Speak was founded in 2019 as a space dedicated to connecting young survivors and giving them a leading voice in the sexual violence prevention movement. We have since become a resource hub and growing community of survivors and allies, reclaiming our power and healing together.

Space to Speak supports and empowers survivors by providing educational guides and an online platform for the community. Whether you are a survivor or ally, there is always room in our community.
