13 Survivors Share Their Memories Of Sexual Assault & No Words Can Describe How It Feels

Sexual assault is a subject many refuse to talk about. The emotions can become too overpowering to let words describe them – the pain, the memories, the survivor’s guilt, the horror. 

To that end, this project called ‘Project Unbreakable’ – that was started by a New York photography student, Grace Brown in 2011 – aims at spreading awareness about sexual assault through people who, unfortunately, fell prey to it. The following pictures show these very victims holding up posters with words that their attackers used on them and went on to violate their rights.
