WHAT IS WOMEN AGAINST TABOO?
The Women Against Taboo Foundation is a charitable non-profit 501c3 organization in Washington State. We run entirely off of donations from the generous people in our community.
"I started this organization to empower women and society to open discussions and awareness about sexual restoration, sex trafficking and exploitation, sexual assault, and sex related mental health illnesses. Mental health and sexual suppression especially against women and children are topics in the present era that are under-recognized and often pushed aside due to their tabooed stigma in schools, the work place, families, and society in general.
I noticed that many people who have had negative sexual experiences in the past, continue to deal with the physical and emotional difficulties in their everyday lives. They are withdrawn from their partners, they are in distress when their bodies are touched, they are always on alert for danger, they struggle to relax and be in the moment during sex or other important emotional building experiences in their lives. These people often develop body dysmorphia or disordered eating behaviors as a coping mechanism to not be seen or to be seen as undesirable. People may often develop other habits such as chronic pornography use which puts them at higher risk for developing erectile dysfunction, orgasm dysfunctions, depression, anxiety, and lower self-esteem.
I truly believe that consent, self empowerment, and respect for others should be topics that we teach from birth. The goal is that if we can recognize these issues, address them, and implement proper education that we will see a decline in rape, sex trafficking, and post sexual traumatic disorders like body distortion disorders, PTSD, substance used disorders, depression, and suicide.
That is my goal for this organization, to educate, reduce stigmas, expand our awareness about these troublesome topics, and help you discover what sexual wholeness means to you."
