believe in new beginnings.
Our mission
To redefine survival, empower survivors, and eradicate rape culture.
And with your support, we will.
Who are we?
Sisterhood of Survival (SOS), Inc. is a survivor-led 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to empowering survivors of sexual assault through crisis intervention, victim advocacy and restoration, and rape culture impact resources.
“I envision a beautiful sisterhood. One where survivors—at all different stages of their journey—come together and help one another move forward towards the dawn of a new day.
In this sisterhood, albeit forged by unfortunate events, we are in this survival together. One day at a time, striving to reach the light while navigating through a world of darkness.... a journey we must repeat daily. We can do this. There is power in our numbers. “
-Tennie R. Eppenger
President, Visionary and Survivor
Our vision
To reimagine a world free from sexual violence and the rape culture that normalizes it—a world where survivors are believed, protected, and equipped to bloom in power.
