Survivors have their say

Victim-survivors are the most important voices of all in our mahi. Here’s what some of them say about Tika

Tika gives me hope that someday my experience might be able to protect someone else.

Tika will be a life changing platform for women to come forward and feel supported and guided on the processes of coming forward. It's going to be a revolution.

I think Tika will play a massive role in challenging the current discourse that women should stay quiet. It’s a way that we as a society can normalise standing up and saying, “This person committed a crime against me."
