Loudfence is a visible display of support and solidarity for victim survivors of child sexual abuse. The ribbons tied to railings and fences represent the voices of those who wish to express their support for children and young people who have been subjected to injury by child sexual abuse and for those who are dealing with the consequences for themselves and others.
Loudfence calls out to survivors and says "you are not alone, we stand with you". Loudfence also calls out to all those people who feel horrified by media reports concerning abuse and invites them to stand up for the right of every child to be safe, ahead of preserving the reputation and image of any institution, organisation or individual perpetrator.
Loudfence invites those who have no experience of child sexual abuse to show solidarity with those who wish to put an end to the silence which has enabled such harm to be perpetrated against the most vulnerable in society.
Loudfence is a visible sign of compassion and solidarity for survivors of child sexual abuse perpetrated within the Church and other contexts.
We invite you to pause here to attach a ribbon or message, to pray, to reflect.
