Survivor here as well - what does "raising awareness" actually mean to you? What impact will raising awareness have for victims? In my opinion, it's a phrase that gets tossed around a lot in the name of good intentions, but doesn't actually MEAN anything on its own. So people are aware....now what?
Also curious what your background is, other than being a survivor? Are you a counselor or therapist, or have you had any training in working with survivors of domestic violence?
