Sexual violence impacts people across the public and private spheres and across war and peace, all around the world. Despite this, sexual violence has very rarely been represented in the memorials that populate our public spaces.
This toolkit has been written by activists who have recent experience of setting up memorials in the United States that commemorate sexual violence, working together with academics studying these memorials. We hope that it will prove a useful resource to other activists, in the United States and beyond, who are working towards establishing memorial projects of their own.
Please feel free to use and to share this document – and please do let us know if it has helped you in your memorial work. You can download the toolkit PDF here.
