Education, Support, Inspiration
last update 07/17/08: A retreat for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse is scheduled for April 24-26, 2009. This will be the first retreat for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse held anywhere in the world! We previously held an in-person one-day workshop for survivors in May, 2008. The retreat will take place approximately one month before our 10-year Anniversary!
New applications for the online survivors' program are now being accepted!
History and Purpose
The mission of Making Daughters Safe Again (MDSA) is to support and advocate for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse (mdsa), to educate professionals and the general public, and to inspire action, knowledge, healing and hope.
Since 1999, we have been offering innovative online and offline support services for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse. We have been featured by homestead.com twice and included in a national (US) press release as a model organization that utilizes the internet. We have also been referenced in major publications, had our original articles translated into several languages, and had our online materials requested by health care professionals, and those involved in the legal system. MDSA continues to be widely listed and honored on reputable web sites and recognized by the National Self-help Clearinghouse.
Although based in the United States, MDSA has a truly gobal reach. Visitors to our web site come from over 30 different countries. Our members currently represent 7 different countries, with their stories of isolation and their struggle to receive proper treatment and intervention being universal themes.
Our hope is that one day, the world will be more aware of mother-daughter sexual abuse so that little girls can be saved, and survivors can receive the information, support and validation that they so richly deserve.
