The Monument Quilt: A public healing space by and for survivors of rape and abuse. The Monument Quilt is an on-going collection of stories from survivors of rape and abuse. Written, stitched, and painted onto red fabric, our stories are displayed in city and town centers to create and demand public space to heal. The quilt resists the popular and narrow narrative of how sexual violence occurs by telling many stories, not one. The quilt builds a new culture where survivors are publicly supported, rather than publicly shamed.

"The National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center and the Monument Quilt Project will walk in support of safety for Native women and sovereignty of Indian nations,” said Cherrah Giles, Board President, NIWRC. “We ask everyone to join our effort to oppose Dollar General. Non-Indian corporations and sex predators must be held accountable. Race should not be a license to prey on Native women and children.”

"When I was sexually assaulted, I didn't know it was happening. It was not because I was unconscious, but because I did not understand the meaning of consent. I thought that agreeing to a relationship gave him the right to my body. I didn't realize what he did until I heard other stories. Conversations are important. Never underestimate the power of your voice."

“It was a date that turned into rape. NO means NO.”
