Survivors listen to the experiences of other survivors as they take great courgae to stand and tell others they are survivors and they will go on to thrive. | |
Jill hands in the petition of signatures collected nationally and from survivors on the internet to the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street | |
"My name is Jill Miles. I am
a survivor of childhood abuse. Today, I hand back to my abuser, his crumpled baggage, his baggage, that I have carried for 33 year." |
|
"No longer will I take the blame, feel the shame or hang my head low. It is you that is to blame, you that has done wrong, and from this day on I will live, and thrive." | |
Purple balloons are released from the Square in symbolic gesture of the release we seek from our past. |
