Restoring Justice: Repairing the Harm After Sexual Assault | Gretchen Casey | TEDxUF

Gretchen Casey is a local leader in restoring justice to sexual assault survivors. Her work brings the stories of the survivors to light instead of remaining hidden behind statistics. Gretchen is helping to lead these stories towards hope, forgiveness, and a new beginning. Gretchen Casey is an advocate for victims of sexual assault. In 2016, Gretchen launched Unshame.org, a platform dedicated to helping connect victims of rape with a supportive community through messages of hope, resilience and compassion. As an extension of this project, Gretchen also led a local #MeToo campaign in Gainesville, FL, with the goal of bringing visibility to the people behind the statistics of sexual assault, and an end to victims feeling ashamed by someone else’s behavior. Her goal has and continues to be helping survivors of sexual assault regain control of their lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
