For generations, survivors of sexual abuse stood alone. Now they step forward as a powerful social movement, the Survivors Movement.

Stand Up, Speak Up celebrates survivors who emerged from the shadows of imposed shame to challenge cultures of oppression and institutions of power. Since the year 2000, millions have mobilized a powerful social-justice movement that has flourished as a social and political force. Rising from the ashes, it created hundreds of organizations and compelled reforms in law, social relations, and culture.

Author Tim Lennon shares the obstacles, victories, and courage of the survivors who stepped forward and shattered the silence. Drawing on history, analysis, and exclusive interviews, Lennon demonstrates how survivors have challenged institutions of power, including Hollywood producers, church ministers, athletic coaches, doctors, and many others. They are igniting a movement to end the violence that has plagued society for generations.

Stand Up Speak Up celebrates the activism of survivor-leaders who stepped up and changed the world.
