Burden of Silence

One in three Native American women will experience sexual abuse at some point in their lifetime. That is more than twice the national average. We hear from Donna Erikson, a native Alaskan woman and a survivor of sexual abuse and others who share their stories. These women are speaking out publicly for the first time in their lives about lifting the burden of silence within their community in the hopes that they will encourage others to do the same and start a dialogue.
