I am a survivor of sexual trauma, and I've been informed that I need sex therapy to aid in my recovery. However, every therapy provider demands payment for these essential services. This therapy is crucial for us to heal, to reclaim our sense of safety, and to regain control over our lives. It's a necessity, not a luxury.

What happened to me wasn't my fault, and it shouldn't be a financial burden that I have to bear. It is deeply unjust that while survivors of sexual trauma have to shell out money for therapy, perpetrators in prison receive taxpayer-funded sex therapy. How is it that the victims end up paying while those responsible can receive these services for free?

Our current system needs urgent reform. It isn't right to prioritize the rehabilitation of perpetrators over the recovery of survivors. The resources must be redirected to aid those who have suffered at the hands of violence, providing them with free and accessible sex therapy.

The impact of removing this financial barrier would be profound. Enabling survivors to access therapy without cost would foster healing, improve mental health outcomes, and support survivors on their journey to recovery. It would convey a powerful message of solidarity and justice.

I call upon government bodies and policymakers to address this glaring inequity. Funding should be reallocated so that sex therapy is freely available to all survivors of sexual trauma. Let us ensure that those who have already endured so much can access the support they need without the additional worry of financial strain.

Join me in this vital cause. Sign this petition to demand free and accessible sex therapy for survivors of sexual trauma. Together, we can instigate a change that honours the victims and offers them the dignity and support they truly deserve.
