The Teddy Tour of Imaginif and All for Women
Written by admin on January 21, 2008 – 8:34 pm -
Imaginif and All for Women
have had enough of the secrecy around child sexual assault.
Together, we have joined a sistership and are providing a confidential blogospheric tour for all people who were sexually assaulted and abused as children.
This blogospheric Teddy Tour is a changing display of teddies each confidentially representing a real person (man, woman or child) affected by sexual assault / abuse. Teddies have long been a symbol of childhood. Teddies have long been patched up, thrown aside and pulled out when needed…much like the lives of many people affected by child sexual abuse.
It is time to give the teddies a voice. If you are a survivor of child sexual abuse then we want to put your story on a teddy and have that teddy confidentially represent you. Your story will go onto a tag that you will send to us. The story WILL NOT contain any identifying information of either yourself or your perpetrator (make up fictitious names) and we will NEVER disclose who we think the tag really came from.
Will this cost you anything? Yes, it will cost you letter postage to Australia (or you can email your tag to imaginifatbigponddotcom). We do not want a teddy from you, just a post card sized tag to put on teddies that we have from previous involvement in physical teddy tours. I’ll take a photo, upload it for the world to see and scan/upload your tag as well so that everyone can clearly see and feel your words - your message - your story.
You have monetized this site, where does that money go? Imaginif and All for Women are sister sites. We have a strong sistership and we believe in helping at the grass roots level. Any revenue from Google Ad clicks or affiliate sales will go toward a grass roots movement that supports families affected by sexual assault. Revenue may be used as competition money on either site, one off small loans to struggling single parents or even to sponsor a survivor to attend a conference or set up their own blog site. We will be giving the money back to those affected by sexual violence as children.
Be silent no longer. Take this completely confidential opportunity to tell your story of child sexual assault. Give a teddy a voice and raise a community that recognises and prevents child sexual abuse. Support our sponsors and you support Imaginif and All for Women’s commitment to ending child abuse.
Help us spread the voice of survivors.
