(Wo)Men Speak Out™ is a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating rape, sexual assault and gender violence. We seek to educate and represent equally survivors of both genders, cultivating healthy relationships and gender equity.
WSO Minizine:
Not quite a newsletter, not quite a magazine, our Minizine will touch upon topics that affect our daily lives, the people we love and the communities we live in. A quarterly collaboration of authors, writers and survivor stories, bringing food for thought to survivors, advocates and those wanting to become more involved in the fight to end abuse.
WSO Video Series
This video series (Wo)Men Speak Out was created by Christopher & Ophelia de Serres, in response to the overwhelming number of male and female survivors of abuse and their loved ones who are eager to share their stories and work together to end the cycle of violence in their communities and worldwide.
(Wo)Men Speak Out™ touches upon topics that are both sensitive and thought provoking intended to create dialog and encourage positive action and community reform surrounding issues of anti-violence.
Christopher de Serres is the Co-Founder of (Wo)Men Speak Out™ and Editor of Minizine, a WSO quarterly online publication. A freelance writer with a lifelong passion of the psychology and sociology, Chris has explored such subjects as the emotional and cultural impacts of abuse, gender constraints and recidivism in our communities. While much of his work serves his passions, he explores subjects that both educate and explore a more globally diverse context to include cultural variousness and the impact humans are having on the environment. During his free time, Chris is an avid rock climber and curious tourist. He currently lives in Seattle, WA.
Through her work as Director of Ophelia's Love and Co-Founder of (Wo)Men Speak Out™, Ophelia de Serres has a style that is uniquely her own. She draws from her personal experience as a survivor of CSA, intimate partner violence and over 5 years as an Assaulted Women & Children's Advocate. Having previously served as the Director of Operations for the Angela Shelton Foundation, Ophelia is currently on the board of directors for An Infinite Mind, Inc., a national organization that provides education and advocacy for D.I.D and related disorders. A singer/songwriter, her music promotes the commonality and adversity that is faced by survivors in a format that transcends the listener. During her free time, Ophelia enjoys writing, rock climbing, meditation and yoga.
Who I'd like to meet: Survivors, Loved Ones of Survivors, Community Members.
for adding (Wo)Men Speak Out™ to your top friends list and enabling us to reach more people.
Our message is an important one and working together is key!
Thank you for all that you do.
as we go through life, may we make it our goal to live each day to the fullest, to do what we can to help others, to love with all we have to love, to give back to those in need, to turn our negatives into positives, and to eliminate the bad influences and drama by surrounding ourselves with friends who will help us grow more as people
I believe that the greatest achievement that we as survivors should be the most proud of in our lives is that we have survived so much and have continued to fight and work hard to get this far where we are today.
one of the most beautiful things in life is seeing people come together, reaching out to one another and giving back as they work together to make a change.
