The posters read:
Before
* “I’m a virgin & I’m not going to have sex with you.”
* “That’s fine. I respect you for that.”
After
* “You’re not a virgin anymore.” *
Next day when I tried breaking up with him
* “I didn’t want to open the door for you at first because I thought the police were with you.”
* “It’s not something to be mad about. We’re animals, we’re supposed to do this.”
* “You can’t really blame me, I mean, look at what you were wearing.”
* “If you broke up with me afterwards I would have treated it like a one night stand.”
*2nd ex boyfriend

The poster reads:
He said if I told he would start raping my baby sister too. For years I kept his secret. Later I found out he’d been raping her all along. Back then we were victims, two little girls unable to defend ourselves. Today we are survivors.

The posters read:
“What?” age 14
Molested by my friend’s Grandfather
“I will make it fit.” age 14
I said “no”…ripped and bleeding after
“Get on top or walk home in the snow.” age 14
I woke up and a stranger was in the bed, hands down my pants. I screamed for help. age 16
Past sexual abuse effects the entire family. Words that were once used for abuse, secrecy, and shame are now transformed in the presence of this love, acceptance, and grace. I am free to be a compassionate wife and mother and courageous advocate!

Project Unbreakable was created in October of 2011 by Grace Brown. Grace works with survivors of sexual assault, photographing them holding a poster with a quote from their attacker. Grace has photographed over four hundred people and has received over a thousand submissions. TIME magazine has also named it one of the top 30 Tumblr blogs to follow.
If you are interested in participating by submitting in your own image, you may send an email to projectunbreakablesubmissions @gmail.com.
Note: Grace, or anyone else associated with this project, is not qualified to give certified advice on this subject. If you are struggling, RAINN has a free, confidential, 24/7 sexual assault hotline: 1.800.656.HOPE(4673). RAINN also has an online hotline: https://ohl.rainn.org/online/
