• In Their Own Words

    Share Your Story

  • Every survivor has a story, but no survivor owes anyone their story.

    End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin is creating space for survivors across Wisconsin to share their experiences, reflections, hopes, and calls for change in their own words. You decide what you share. You decide whether your name is attached. You decide whether we may contact you about sharing your story publicly.

    You do not need to describe the violence or harm you experienced to participate. Please do not include names or identifying information about other survivors or individuals if doing so could compromise someone's safety or privacy.

    Remember: You may skip questions.

  • About You

  • 1. How would you like us to identify you if your story is shared?
  • 4. What part of Wisconsin are you connected to?
  • How would you describe the community where you live or received services?

  • Your Story

    There is no right way to answer these questions. You can write a few sentences or as much as you would like.
