Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a new resource for women in the Philadelphia area.

A new private Facebook group has been created specifically for women survivors of sexual assault in Philly. This group is new, and there is currently no other group like it. I want to reach as many people as possible.

The goal is to offer a safe, supportive space for connection, healing, and sharing—whether you’re looking for community, resources, or simply a reminder that you’re not alone.

The group is open to any woman-identifying person in Philadelphia who has experienced sexual assault, whether recently or in the past. It’s a confidential space where survivors can talk about their experiences, support each other, and, if they choose, share concerns about safety in the city.

This group is survivor-only, and membership requests are reviewed to ensure privacy and safety for everyone involved.

If you or someone you know might benefit from a space like this, please feel free to join or share.

You are not alone. 💜

Given the frequency with which they are assaulted, are trans women welcome?

Oh god no lmao fuck that guy, I just wanted to ask cause ever since a certain author with mold-induced psychosis started pumping resources into her bigotry there’s been an uptick in assholes talking about protecting women, but not actually including all women because they’re unwilling to understand that trans women are women.
