62 Male Sexual Assault Survivors Share Their Stories, And They’ll Break Your Heart
Whenever you hear the words "sexual assault," many people instinctively assume that the victim is female. But as you can see from this powerful photography series, it isn't always so black and white.
The pictures are part of 'Project Unbreakable,' a website set up in 2011 by Grace Brown, a New York photography student. The purpose of the site is to raise awareness about sexual assault by giving a voice to those who have been victims of it. The pictures feature survivors holding up posters with quotes from their attackers, and many of those who volunteered to be a part of the project were men who had been subjected to sexual assault, child abuse, and domestic violence.
The website was closed in 2015, but as Grace wrote recently, "In light of our current political climate - the fact that a man accused of multiple instances of sexual assault is about to be the president of the USA - I have decided to repost images from Unbreakable on its Instagram account. We won’t stay silent - not for the oppressed, not for the marginalized, not for anyone."

Though rare women can be rapists. I have heard that men can't be raped by women because they need to be hard. It would be like saying a woman isn't raped if she is wet. Both are a physiological response. Everyone has the right to say "NO" no matter what their physiological response.

I don't think I can read many more of these, I want to cry for all these poor people who were abused like this. Next chance I get I am raising awareness for this cause. I feel like people should know that they can go to a lot of people for this and they will be protected. This is disgusting.

It's possible that he feels that he was forced into being gay; What is probably really happening is that he hasn't processed his trauma and is actually continuously reenacting it. In our culture we regard gay as a sexual orientation that is not chosen, and for us it is like that. For him it is not, and it is his reality. Opening up about trauma is the first step to healing. Your insensitive comments here might halt that process. It's his trauma, his life, his situation. Let him have ownership to it. He might be born gay, he might not be born gay; that doesn't change the fact that he lives in a culture were being gay is a punishable offence that might cost him his life, and get him raped even more. So just let him have ownership of his trauma and figure things out for himself. Show some goddamn love, or shut your pie-holes.

Doesn't matter if you're female, male or transgender: Sexual assault will always remain sexual assault. It's truly horrible how many people think that boys and men just have to "man up" in situations like these. Being masculine ALSO includes the desire and right of being in safe zones. The horrible part is that so many have experienced this in an early stage in their childhoods and their views of life might have been completely changed forever. For those who have come out and spoke openly about their assault: you have my respect and that of hundreds of other persons. To those who still struggle, not having found the courage to speak out: Hang in there, and keep telling yourself that you are stronger than you think, because you are. And never be afraid to seek help in cases like these. Remember that a beautiful life still awaits for you, if you haven't found it yet.

My thoughts, exactly. I decided to vote the whole list, for being informative, and making the boys to be heard, but I didn't want to vote on any post individually because the pain of each of them is equally horrible. However, I DID vote the one who says his experience dows not define him, because I found it encouraging. There are people who actually commit suicide for not being able to cope with the aftermath and mental abuse, but this guy, who's been through it himself, is basically telling you to stay strong. I hope his attitude helps other victims as well.

I was taped when I was 14 by my stepdad, I didn't know he was my stepdad until I turned 18. What a shock to me. My Mother blames me for what happened, she said that I did it and it takes two. I no longer have a relationship with my Mother, nor we were never close when I was growing up. I have forgiven my stepdad and we talk every few weeks. I didn't ask for what happened to me, my childhood was robbed from me everything changed for me, I never felt safe or full of dreams and goals. People need to know what happens to a person after someone you know takes advantage of you at a volerable age except the one who has been violated at a young age. I still have things that bother me or brings back the bad memory's I went through. There should be places for people who need help. The hardest part for me is reliving what happened to me. GOD BLESS THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN VIOLATED.

I saw several sad social experiment videos that were supposed to test people's reactions when they saw a male sexually harassing a female and a female sexually harassing a male. The two actors went out in public and started the project with a male actor pushing a female actor away as she kept saying things like: "Come on baby, have sex with me. You know you want it." Everyone in the surrounding area either ignored it or laughed and shouted random things at the male as he was harassed. (They were unaware that it was a social experiment and thought it was real.) They shouted things like: "Why would you not want to have sex with a beautiful girl like her? You're crazy! Get it on boy!" Once the roles were reversed and the male actor started to harass the female actor into having sex, a bunch of random people ran to the female's aid and immediately saved her. The point is, no one was in the least bit concerned when a male was harassed, yet reacted when it was a female getting attacked.

My nanny had a game for me when I was 7. If I wanted something from a store it would e worth a certain amount of points. When I got home she made sure everyone was out of the house. She would lay me down on my stomach with a ice pop and use a paddle and hit my butt fast and light so it stung. After she would show me how red my butt was and how warm it was standing me in front of a mirror. I had no clue this was wrong in anyway. Her 15 yr old son tried to molest me countless times when I did t corporate he lost interest.....no one in my family ever knew. I told no one untIL now. I don't think my family could take it. I can though, I can always take it.

THIS is why we need feminism. Equal treatment means that men's claims of rape should be taken just as seriously as women's (Hell, everyone's claims of rape need to be taken MORE seriously). Men should be able to show their pain without being called 'sissies' for it. Men absolutely can get raped, and it's heartbreaking when it happens to anyone. Why is it such a hard concept for people to understand that we're all HUMAN BEINGS. We all hurt, we can all be hurt. Why would genetics change any of that? We all deserve to be treated with compassion and respect.

---Situation: No one was present in that portion of the house--- Him: "Lets play a game in that room" Me: "What game?" Him( with a slithering shushh sound and holding my eight year old hand gently but firmly): "Lets go to that room first!" *** Throwing me to the bed, kissing me all over and asking me .. ** Him: " Are you enjoying it?" Me: (I was enjoying it but did not see the next part coming). Now him seductively molesting me and me looking at the dark door and trying to stop that 8 year old, even today and I say to myself, " Don't go... You could have called mummy, you could have called daddy, you could have yelled ... !"

what happened to you was atrocious, ugly, undefensible - wrong wrong wrong but not one of you are anything other than brave strong survivor warrior men

THIS is why we need feminism. Equal treatment means that men's claims of rape should be taken just as seriously as women's (Hell, everyone's claims of rape need to be taken MORE seriously). Men should be able to show their pain without being called 'sissies' for it. Men absolutely can get raped, and it's heartbreaking when it happens to anyone. Why is it such a hard concept for people to understand that we're all HUMAN BEINGS. We all hurt, we can all be hurt. Why would genetics change any of that? We all deserve to be treated with compassion and respect.

a feminist would spit in the face of these men and boys and tell them to "check their privilege" the last thing on earth we need is feminism.

To each and every one of these men I wish you love, peace, joy & happiness. Travel your own road and tell the truth. Never easy, never ever. Some members of my family still will not see the truth after I told about my sexual assault and abuse. I believe you, each and every one of you.

I'm so deeply sorry to anyone who is a victim to these crimes. I hope the right justice is changed so that harsher punishment is served for people who are so horrible to do these things. I wish victims peers and relatives took this more seriously. I am so disgusted by these criminals.

No one has ever claimed that men can't be raped by other men or ugly landwhales. It goes more along the lines, "men can't be raped by hot 18-30 year old babes."

Silence is violence. Thank you for being so strong to talk about it. Releasing is healing.

An absolutely horrendous thing to do to anyone. I feel for these men and I hope they find Peace and Forgiveness in their lives. It is so difficult to process, I know, it's taken years for me.

It's so f*****g awful. Imagine all that pain only for your loved ones to laugh and push you away too. This NEEDS more awareness

I can't read any more, let's put it this way, my heart is ice, and all thee together make the f*cking sun, all the ice around my heart is melted, these made me more sad than many things I've experienced. Anyone can be raped and NO MEANS NO, just because you were a young child doesn't mean you won't remember, you remember bad memories for as long as you can remember good ones

All of you are brave to share this. You now pave the way for others after you. Show them that shame is the worst disease. Never be ashamed.

Whenever I read these, I wonder what state of mind the rapist was in that they thought this was ok. How could they be so hateful?

---Situation: No one was present in that portion of the house--- Him: "Lets play a game in that room" Me: "What game?" Him( with a slithering shushh sound and holding my eight year old hand gently but firmly): "Lets go to that room first!" *** Throwing me to the bed, kissing me all over and asking me .. ** Him: " Are you enjoying it?" Me: (I was enjoying it but did not see the next part coming). Now him seductively molesting me and me looking at the dark door and trying to stop that 8 year old, even today and I say to myself, " Don't go... You could have called mummy, you could have called daddy, you could have yelled ... !"

Yes I had enjoyed it. He was a servant about 20 year old at that time. But what was more shocking that he did the same to my other cousins.

Feminism like any Democrat policy destroys the human spirit. Women are lying about rape and men continue to be victimized.

Politics has nothing too do with this and neither does feminism. all people that lie about being raped have a very special place in hell.

did you read the entire thing? in his culture being gay is like being animal. he wishes he wasn't gay because he's scared and he's not allowed to be at peace with his sexuality. that's what is all the more heartbreaking about it.

What doesn't make a difference is whether the abuser is male or female. The abuser is the abuser. Fullstop. Also, you can totally see how they were mentally abused. Rape is rape. No matter the sexes or genders of the victims and attackers.

Apparently you didn't read very far. There were some female abusers, one was the victim's mother, another one stated they were trans, and was raped by their girlfriend.
