Teen Survivors Week of Action

Fri, 30 Apr 2021 12:11:38 +0600

Girls ages 16-19 are four times more likely than the general population to be victims of sexual assault (US Department of Justice) and one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before the age of 18 (CDC). PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment is hosting their 3rd Annual Teen Survivors Week of Action (April 26-May 1) to help prevent these crimes through education and promote healing during the last week of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month in April.

Led by an advisory group of teens, PAVE has partnered with many leading organizations who are working to eradicate sexual abuse, domestic violence, and human trafficking, including: No More, National Organization for Victim Assistance, National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, End Rape on Campus, I Have the Right To, Every Voice Coalition, Sexual Assault Youth Support Network, ICTSOS, TESSA of Colorado Springs, Deaf Overcoming Violence Through Empowerment, and many others.

PAVE works across the country and internationally to provide education on gender-based violence and empowers survivors to thrive after trauma. One of PAVE's Teen Advisory Board Activists is Abrianna Morales. After being sexually assaulted at age 15, Abrianna founded Sexual Assault Youth Support Network (SAYSN) and was crowned Miss New Mexico's Outstanding Teen 2018. She is passionate about supporting fellow teen survivors and working to eradicate sexual violence.

Abrianna said, "As a teen survivor, activist, and advocate, I understand what it feels like to overcome the adversity of sexual violence and the importance of educating teens about it. Making this information accessible means meeting teens where they are, which is online. This campaign—guided and supported by PAVE, one of the leading national organizations tackling these issues—is led by teens, for teens. Teen Survivors Week of Action provides ways for students to remain socially involved while being physically distant and includes education about consent, healthy relationships, and more!"

This week is dedicated to promoting and supporting the voices of teen advocates through engaging toolkits, events, and calls to action. This initiative also includes interactive videos and discussion points for parents to help talk to their teens about consent, healthy relationships, challenging victim blaming, and self-care.

PAVE is a movement creating a world free from sexual violence and building communities to support survivors. PAVE empowers students, parents, and civic leaders to end sexual violence. Since 2001, PAVE has trained over 500,000 college students, over 15,000 professionals including military, and has reached millions through social and traditional media.

Love Conquers COVID-19: Surrogacy-Born Baby Gives Hope to Grandfather & Gay Dads, Who All Survive COVID

Fri, 29 May 2020 07:49:21 +0600

This is a surrogacy story of three generations who survived COVID19. It starts with a grandfather who was in the ICU and on a ventilator for three weeks in New York City at the height of the global pandemic. Being in his mid-80s, the odds were against him. After all, only 20% of those on ventilators due to COVID survive. He was fighting for his life, literally. His son and son-in-law, intended parents who had welcomed their baby girl, Emilia, into the world after their surrogacy journey, were also sick with COVID-19. These dads lost their sense of taste and smell and were very sick at home for two weeks. They recovered but remained very worried about Emilia’s grandfather, or “Poppy”, as she now calls him. Meanwhile, their 18-month-old daughter, who was born via gestational surrogacy with the help of an amazing woman who became a surrogate with surrogacy agency Creative Family Connections, also became ill with COVID-19. Happily, she recovered in just a few days’ time.

Poppy managed to beat the odds, made a full recovery, and was one of the lucky ones who was discharged, returning safely home. Poppy said that it was the image of his granddaughter, Emilia, and his fervent wish to see her again, to watch her grow and turn two years old, that kept him fighting for his life. Love truly does conquer all. Sometimes, it even conquers COVID.

When Creative Family Connections owner and founder Diane Hinson reached back out to Emilia’s dads to see how Poppy was doing, she was overjoyed to hear the happy news. She reflected and shared, “I am used to helping create lives. This gave me a glimpse of what it feels like to play a small role in helping to save a life. It feels amazing! If I feel like this, I can only imagine how our first-defender doctors and nurses must feel as they save life after life in the battle against COVID."

Not everyone has been so fortunate as to have such a happy outcome. The Creative Family Connections team has experienced loss and seen loss through our gestational surrogates and intended parents. We wish everyone all the support and love imaginable during these extremely challenging times.

Here at Creative Family Connections, we are proud to witness, first-hand, the love and hope that surrogacy brings to surrogates, parents -- and grandparents -- in the COVID-19 world in which we live. This hope enables us to keep helping mothers become surrogates and people become parents ... because everyone can build a family.

Gestational surrogacy with surrogate compensation will become legal in New York when the new statute takes effect February 15, 2021.
