This week, I look back: Thirteen years ago (11/5/2010 & 11/12/2010), a monumental event forever changed the narrative for male survivors of sexual trauma. Oprah Winfrey's "200 Men Come Forward" television event marked a historic milestone in broadcast history by bringing together 200 brave male survivors and their partners in a courageous and empowering display of solidarity.
This unprecedented event was more than a mere broadcast; it was a watershed moment of hope and empowerment for countless survivors worldwide. The impact of those episodes continue to reverberate; igniting conversations, shattering stigmas, and providing a platform for the silenced voices of male survivors to be heard and acknowledged.
(thanks to MenHealing.org for reminding me of this event)
Oprah's "200 Men Come Forward" television event is available to watch for FREE (as of 12/13/23) on Oprah.com: (FYI, auto-captioning is provided but they edit out ALL sexual terms with " **** ", even minor ones, making it hard to follow)
