Project Unbreakable; Standing Up

 October 2011, Grace Brown created Project Unbreakable. A supportive and strong way of helping survivors of Sexual Assault by photographing them holding a poster with a quote from them, the Assaulter or even friends and family.
After knowing people close to her who are victims and survivors, she sadly realised how common a tragedy Sexual Assault is, just still as Taboo subject as ever.
Statistics within the UK for Sexual Assault, and anywhere else are never 100% well known because only a minute fraction of survivors actually tell someone about it.


  • Approx 400,000 women every year have expreienced Sexual Assault and 80,000 women EVERY YEAR are raped.
  • 85% of rapists are known to the victims.
No one deserves it. No, means NO.

But also to anyone who has been a victim, you are a survivor. Whether you report an incident or not, you should be proud of the strong person you are. And you should never feel guilty of being raped.
A boyfriend, a stranger, a family member, a best friend, they should never take advantage of you. If you are drunk, wearing revealing clothing, again I cannot stress how it is never our fault.

There are so many websites for help and advice
