When we talk about "ending the silence", we are urging people to openly engage with their friends, children, relatives and co-workers about a crime that often leaves the victim with the devastation of shame and guilt. 

The stigma that surrounds sexual violence continues because we, as a society, have been reluctant to face the reality of the crime, and its impact. 

We must openly talk, ask questions, and demand a better world. 
  
KCSARC is a change agent.  We plan to end sexual violence in our community and we are here to care for those who are affected.
