1 in 4 women are affected by sexual abuse or assault at some point during their life.  The Butterfly Initiative was conceived for and is dedicated to these women.  We firmly believe that while the experience of childbearing often illuminates the effects of such trauma, it also carries the potential to be a profoundly healing opportunity.   The pages contained within offer information, resources and tools to assist all women on the road toward healing, and in their journey to embrace and enjoy their childbearing years.
