#tuesdayswithtawana

1 in 6 men. 1 in 7 severely harmed. And only 32% ever call for help.

The silence protects the violence, not the survivor.

Go forth and break the silence.

Mended: When Organizations/Individuals/Institutions Get it Wrong (and Right).

We are widening the lens, beloved. Not only the church ~ though the church is in the room ~ but every place a survivor turns for help: the organization that protected its name over her life, the individual whose "support" became another cage, the institution that processed her pain and called it procedure.

We will name it plainly ~ the scriptures used to keep her in place, the counsel to submit and stay, the policy that punished her for fleeing, the silence that guarded reputations instead of lives. And we will name what healing demands ~ people, organizations, and institutions that believe her the first time, sanctuary that is more than a word, accountability that does not look away.

Three voices join me at the table, each carrying a different piece of this truth.

And three questions go on that table:
One ~ Who failed her first ~ a person, a policy, or a pulpit?
Two ~ When does "support" become another form of control?
Three ~ What would it look like ~ for the person, the organization, the institution ~ to get it right?

Beloved, #TuesdaysWithTawana begins ~ Broken, Mended, Whole: Breaking the Silence Together.
