In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, “ injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” With everything that is going on in this world, our advocates and survivors are the ones who are standing up and speaking out. They are the voices for the voiceless; however, as many of you know, standing up for what is right and just is not always easy. Speaking up and out about one’s abuse often leaves that person open for criticism and blame. We live in a society that is quick to blame the victim and protect the perpetrator; however, we are beginning to see a shift as victims and survivors realize they are not alone. Hope Pyx Global wants to shine a light on these true heroes.
The 2022 Conference on Abuse and International Book Awards is designed to raise awareness for prevention, provide education and CEU credits, resources and networking opportunities for survivors, advocates, providers, and community partners to end abuse together and to recognize those who have overcome adversities and have spoken out through:
- books,
- spoken word,
- visual arts,
- music, or
- film.
This will be a two-part event held in Houston, Texas. The Conference on Abuse will have speakers who will share their stories about how they overcame or helped others overcome their adversities. Also, tune in as they share how they combat social injustice. As William Faulkner once said, “Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.”
At the International Book Awards Gala, Victoria Valentino, Playboy Icon & Cosby Survivor will be our keynote speaker and award winners will be announced. Below are the categories that will be recognized during this event:
- Military Trauma
- Military Sex Trafficking
- Spoken Word
- Visual Arts
- Music
- Film
Come learn from experts and industry leaders at the conference, celebrate with our heroes at the award gala, submit your favorite survivor story, or choose to help sponsor the event today. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
