Our Mission

Walk Your Shame Out aims to help adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse overcome the shame that often keeps them from sharing their stories. How? By offering a simple, free Sweatshirt that serves as a visible symbol to break the silence.

For most survivors, taking this step is incredibly difficult, so it must serve a greater purpose: to create change and protect other children. We have so much to learn from survivors. They have lived through this unbearable experience, and their voices have the power to create real, lasting impact. When survivors speak out, let's listen, learn, and gain insights from their stories.

That's why Walk Your Shame Out is also committed to collecting and sharing valuable contributions from survivors—whether it's tips, books, advice, or personal experiences—things they wish others had known or that could have made a difference in their own lives.

These contributions will help educate parents, caretakers, and adults on how to better protect and support children. By empowering survivors' voices, we can build a stronger foundation for prevention and healing.

We all have a part to play in ending childhood sexual abuse—and together, we can create meaningful change.

With hope, Adeline
