Not having family, Aliza Amar grew up in an institution in Israel and was sexually assaulted throughout her childhood starting at age six.  In Tel Aviv, as a naive 21-year-old, she answered an advertisement for modeling.  At the “audition,” she was raped by a man she thought was going to  be interviewing her, and thereafter learned that her rape had been recorded and disseminated as pornography.  Ms. Amar is now Founder and Executive Director of Breaking the Silence Together, an organization that encourages women to break their silence about sexual assault.  She is a speaker and educator for RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization and operator of the National Sexual Assault Hotline, and she is also an advocate and artist who helps survivors break their silence about violence and sexual exploitation, to create social change to end violence against women.
