Northeastern SpeakOut

Run by Northeastern SARC

About

Mission

We want to provide a safe and supportive space for survivors to share their stories and raise awareness around the pervasiveness of sexual violence at Northeastern University.

Community Guidelines

You can share any part of your story that you wish: trauma, healing, growth, connection after trauma, etc.
All stories will remain anonymous and confidential.
Stories may be submitted by students, alumni, faculty, or staff members associated with Northeastern University.

  • We want to emphasize that there is no need to mention specific details or identifying information in your submission in order for your story to be valued and heard.

  • If you do choose to include such information, however, please note that this information will be removed to prevent the identification of the survivor or legal pushback against Speakout or the survivor.

  • We recognize the importance of accountability, but this space is for all survivors to be able to share safely in a trauma-informed manner. Examples of identifying information include names of perpetrators and institutions/organizations/clubs/affiliations.

  • All submissions are anonymous and confidential. Stories will be posted on the NEU SpeakOut Instagram page within 5-10 days of submitting this form and in order of submission.

Harassment of any kind, and towards anyone, will not be tolerated. We will take steps to prevent anyone who does not abide by this from following or interacting with this Instagram account.
This page is for all survivors.
