I'm Not the Only One

This book contains stories of experiences of sexual harassment and assault told from the victims, themselves. This collection of stories is a Girl Scout Gold Award project, collected and compiled by Ivy Schank. Stories were submitted via an online survey from people of all different ages, all over the world. All stories have been edited for length, clarity, and/or grammatical errors. All names submitted have also been changed to protect everyone’s privacy and anonymity. The purpose of this book is to support the idea that incidents of this sort happen to all people, regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, location, race, what one is wearing, etc. Its purpose is also to let others going through the same things know that they are understood, they can get through the hard times, it’s not their fault, they are loved, that they’re not alone, and that they are not the only one.
