In honor of RAINN's 20th anniversary, we're sharing 20 unique voices that have moved us: survivors and loved ones who have used RAINN's hotlines and partners and friends who have worked tirelessly to educate the public and bring justice to survivors.

These are the people who inspire us and motivate us to continue our work. We think they will inspire you as well.

Together, we've helped to reduce rape by more than half over the last 20 years. We've changed the way Americans think about the crime. And we've put ending sexual violence on the national agenda.

Together, we're making incredible strides every day. But our work isn't done. Please join RAINN as we continue our fight to eliminate sexual violence and help survivors. Donate at donate.rainn.org/20Voices.
