The Army of Survivors was created by a group of more than 40 survivors of sexual violence. They are a diverse pool of athletes who competed at all levels: gymnasts, divers, runners, softball players, volleyball players, and more. Their combined history and experiences allows them to raise awareness of the systemic problem of sexual abuse against athletes. Their goal is to end sexual assault against all athletes by ensuring perpetrators and enablers are held accountable, creating transparency in reporting, building an environment in which athletes do not fear retaliation when reporting abuse, and advocating for change to protect survivors.
