Hate-Crime Network - a project of LAMBDA GLBT Community Services
The National Hate Crimes Hotline, 800-686-HATE
http://www.lambda.org/hatecr2.htm
The Hate Crime Network (HCN) was created by a team of experienced hate crime victim advocates who know the importance of hate crime laws, recovery services, and improved police response. But they also know that for the thousands of Americans affected by hate crimes each year, none of that matters if they can't tell anyone what happened. Survivors of bias incidents often say that they fear reporting to the police or that they simply don't know where to turn for help. The national Hate Crime Network (HCN) gives hate crime victims a chance to tell someone what happened to them. And it gives all of us the opportunity to tell hate crime victims that they are not alone.

Rainbow Hope
http://rainbow-hope.tripod.com

This site was created so that we could share our experiences, grief, hopes, struggles and dreams.

We hope that we can provide you with a safe place to finally be able to be completely yourself.

Breaking The Silence

http://t.webring.com/hub?ring=survivors
Open to everyone; age, gender, background irrelevant. Survivors of sexual and gender violence, rape, sexual abuse, harassment; FGM; and G/L/B/T hate crimes. Most are against women by men, but we don't seek to exclude male survivors or victims of female assailants. Sites in the webring are by or about survivors and most include resources or inspiration in coping with surviving. Our motto is: “Work for survival, and refuse to keep the secrets of the crimes we have suffered.” By sharing our pain, we are sharing our strengths.

Where to go for help if you’ve been sexually abused:

The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN)
635-B Pennsylvania Ave. S.E. Washington, DC 20003, 1-800-656-4673
http://www.rainn.org
RAINN is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., that operates America's only national hotline for survivors of sexual assault. The hotline offers free, confidential counseling and support from anywhere in the country. You can call the RAINN hotline 24 hours a day at 1-800-656-HOPE, or you can locate a crisis center near you by using their search function on their website. RAINN is provided as a service for survivors who cannot reach a rape crisis center through a local call, as well as those who might not know that a local center exists. Currently, the majority of the country is a toll call away from a rape crisis center. Many of these long distance callers are being abused by someone in their own household and thus can't utilize a service that will appear on a phone bill. Since RAINN was founded in 1994, survivors nationwide finally have access to free, confidential counseling all day, every day.
