Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests
SNAP Survivors Network is the world’s oldest and largest community of survivors of clergy and institutional sexual abuse.
PROTECT THE VULNERABLE
We work to identify perpetrators and remove them from positions of authority and trust in institutions. By exposing those who cause harm, we ensure they can no longer endanger children and vulnerable people.
HEAL THE WOUNDED
We equip facilitators to lead peer-run support groups where survivors can find community and understanding. Through public witness and truth-telling, we empower survivors to break the silence and end cycles of abuse.
PREVENT THE ABUSE
We push to reform archaic, predator-friendly laws that allow abuse and cover-ups to continue. By changing these laws, SNAP breaks cycles of trauma to ensure the next generation is protected.
FIGHT FOR JUSTICE
We hold institutions accountable for enabling abuse and shielding those responsible for it. We dismantle structures that harbor predators and conceal the truth from the public.
