From Silencing to Uplifting Survivors of Sexual Violence is a a faith-based approach to promoting safety, healing, and advocacy for women and survivors of sexual violence. The purpose of this Bible Study guide is to facilitate a series of healing conversations between survivors of sexual violence and advocates for survivors. We hope that you will use this guide to curate conversations among leadership and members to provide a shared understanding of the survivor’s experience and stronger protection policies within your church, organization, or community.
Through the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8:2-11, we will explore the ways Jesus dismantles systems of violence to create a safe space for the woman.
The guide follows 5 phases with Biblical application and practical uses to adapt to your faith community:

Her heart beats for young women whose voices are silenced by oppression and she desires to see every person realize the transformative power of their own story.
