VOICES UNHIDDEN™
Breaking the Silence on Digital Violence™
When blocking doesn’t stop the harm, silence isn’t the answer.
Voices Unhidden is a survivor-led advocacy and education initiative confronting the reality of cyber harassment, cyberstalking, and digital abuse.
When online harassment doesn’t stop, neither does the harm - even for adults.
When Blocking Doesn’t Stop the Harm
Online Abuse Follows Recognizable Patterns
Voices Unhidden is a survivor-led advocacy initiative addressing the psychological impact of cyber
harassment, cyberbullying and cyberstalking — especially when blocking and reporting fail.
You’re not imagining it.
If any of this sounds familiar, your experience is valid — and it follows recognizable patterns.
- Blocking didn’t stop it
- New or anonymous accounts kept appearing
- Reporting went nowhere
- You were told to “just log off”
- The impact followed you offline
This behavior isn’t random.
Online harassment adapts. It escalates. And it often causes harm long after the screen goes dark.
More information on how online abuse escalates can be found in the Education section.
Education changes outcomes.
Voices Unhidden provides clear, plain-language education on:
- The psychological effects of prolonged online abuse
- How cyberstalking escalates after blocking
- Why adults are dismissed — and why that’s dangerous
The Education section also includes Myths vs Facts, addressing common misconceptions about
online harassment and cyberstalking.
Common advice doesn’t always reflect reality.
Many survivors are given advice that does not reflect how online abuse actually behaves.
Through education, Voices Unhidden addresses myths such as:
- “Just block them”
- “It’s only online”
- “Ignoring it will make it stop”
And explains why these assumptions can be harmful or incomplete.
Laws and resources matter.
State-by-state laws related to cyber harassment, cyberstalking, and stalking — along with research
and articles from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and other authoritative sources — are
available in the Laws & Resources Page.
These materials are provided to help survivors better understand legal frameworks, limitations, and
available options.
Support should be accessible.
Voices Unhidden connects survivors to:
- Reporting and documentation guidance
- Mental-health and crisis resources
- Legal and advocacy tools
Support resources are available through the Member Community.
Our work centers dignity, evidence, and accountability — without exploitation or sensationalism.
