Impact

Our impact data will be based on six required questions survivors answer. Their answers will be anonymously aggregated to track how support resources improve over time as our platform grows. 

There will be eight demographic questions, and survivors will choose if they want to opt-in and share those answers. All demographic analysis in our impact metrics, including regional patterns, institutional data, and intersectional analysis, is entirely dependent on survivors choosing to share.

We will present our findings and other highlights in our annual impact report.
