Why Statistics are Important
One of the most challenging and difficult things a victim experiences is in telling their story.
Most stay silent. A few brave souls speak up, and because of them, statistics are born that prove their story and experience.
Unfortunately, it takes time to gather statistics and to encourage the silent to speak. Much to the benefit of those who visit this site, there are statistics available from a multitude of sources, which prove that there is trauma happening in our communities, churches, and families, and there are people who need support to heal from what has happened to them. The following statistics have been provided by GROK which is an AI tool. This information is gleaned from multiple sources (websites are included) and is subject to change as more speak out.
“Statistics are important because they provide a systematic and objective framework for collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data, enabling reliable decision-making under conditions of uncertainty.”
“Without statistics, it would be nearly impossible to distinguish signal from noise, separate causation from correlation, or make informed predictions in complex real-world situations.” (GROK)
