couple close friends the

basics of what happened to

me, this is the first time thatI have really

felt ableto tell my

whole story. Points With

Purpose continues to

be a place where I am

experiencing freedom. ”

Points With Purpose

Survivors often hide in isolation and shame

Many survivors need a safe place to develop their voice before braving formal or legal outreach

All survivors need friends who relate and see them as whole people

one-of-a-kind, strong, global peer-support community

We reach survivors online and at schools and community workshops

Through art we shatter shame and bring survivors together

Points With Purpose inspires survivors to help each other heal and thrive

“For the first time in forever,

I feel truly understood

and valued for who I amand not for what

happenedto me.

Without this support I

doubt I’d be alive right

now.”- 19 year old survivor, member for 3 years

“Thanks so much for the Points with

Purpose project.It gives

the ones of us who have beenassaulted a

face.”- Anonymous

Empower: with renewed strength they found in the Points With Purpose community, many survivors have reported their assaults to the authorities and found professional help

Envision: reduced secrecy about rape and sexual abuse can impact the way society handles such events, both before and after they occur

Drawing Hope with Elaan in IndiaIn India, there are few support services for survivors of rape and sexual abuse. In India, there is no effective law prohibiting sexual abuse of children.

In 2012, Drawing Hope is collaborating with Elaan – a Kolkata-based, all-volunteer NGO that was founded by one of our members, Pranaadhika, and has been working for the last decade to transform survivor-support in India.

Together we will:• Support Elaan’s initiative to educate

a million people about rape, sexual abuse and human rights.

• Support Elaan’s campaign for legislative change in India.

v Community Outreach Workshops

v Appealing PSA and Advertising

v Online Peer-Mentor Matching

v Support Member-Led Initiatives, Like Elaan in India
