Mission Statement and History

The mission of Making Daughters Safe Again (MDSA) is to support and advocate for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse (mdsa), to educate professionals and the general public, and to inspire action, knowledge, healing and hope.

Since 1999, MDSA has been offering innovative online and in-person support services for survivors of mother-daughter sexual abuse, guest lectures, and comprehensive resources for anyone seeking information. We have been featured by homestead.com and included in a national (United States) press release as a model organization that utilizes the Internet. Our articles have been referenced in major publications, translated into several languages, and requested by health-care and legal professionals.

Although based in the United States, MDSA has a truly global reach. Visitors to our web site come from over 30 different countries. Our members currently represent 7 different countries, with their stories of isolation and their struggle to receive proper treatment and intervention being universal themes. Our major annual event is a weekend retreat that is attended by survivors from all over the U.S. and other countries.

Our hope is that one day, the world will be more aware of mother-daughter sexual abuse so that little girls can be saved, and survivors can receive the information, support and validation that they so richly deserve.
