Why are you asking for my email?

For two reasons - to protect you and to protect us.

To protect you: If your submission raises concerns about self-harm, having your email allows us to provide support by directing you to appropriate resources. Additionally, we may email you prior to publishing an anonymised, generalised copy of your submission to clarify details. As such, we will only email you regarding your story submission if it is absolutely necessary.

To protect us: Collecting email information helps protect us from the potential receipt of hate mail or inappropriate content.

We take your privacy seriously and assure you that your email will only be used for communication related to your submissions, and we will handle it with the utmost confidentiality.

What details should I include if I share my story?

Details like context or lead up to the incident, important quotes or statements, how the situation was handled, a limited set up details about your role and company which we will de-identify, or anything else you’d like to share. Note that this is only guidance, and we don’t expect you to share any information that you are not comfortable with. We know how hard it can be to put your experience in writing.

Is my story welcome if I'm not female-identifying?

Absolutely. We welcome stories from individuals of all gender identities. Our platform values diversity and aims to create an inclusive space for everyone to share their experiences. Your unique perspective is important to us, and we encourage you to contribute your story to our community. Whether you're male, female, or non-binary, your narrative adds to the richness of our collective dialogue. Thank you for considering sharing your story with us.

Are these stories true?

We encourage community members to share genuine experiences. Our platform does not conduct formal fact-checking, but we are committed to presenting stories authentically. As such, we will never embellish narratives for dramatic effect. Our goal is to spotlight real stories that align with our designated themes.

It's important to note that individual perspectives may vary, and the authenticity of each story relies on the honesty of the contributor. If you have specific concerns about the accuracy of a story, please reach out.
