I think that what is worst of all is the inability of the victims on trusting people/professionals that just want to support them. “Survivor helping survivor”, that is the reason why this initiative is so powerful.

This group is a great idea too cause it shows these women that they are not alone. What's great is that there's a new documentary series on the Biography channel called "I Survived" which features people that have lived through seriously traumatic events. Each episode contains at least one rape story. I think a lot of victims will find it highly cathartic and inspiring to hear about people going through this hell and triumphing in the end. It premieres on March 24 @ 9pm ET. If you want to see more about the show you can at http://www.bio.tv . Does anyone here think they’ll tune in?

I'd love to see the training program for the volunteers. I think it must be awesome. I too think that it is human relationships that heal. I don't see any reason why there could not be many initiatives like this. They would revolutionise psychotherapy - and very much for the better I think. What a wonderful initiative.
