NYYM: Incest Survivors Resource Network International documents

We have three documents from the Incest Survivor's Resource Network: one introduction to the group that presumably preceded a talk given by one of the network's representatives, one such talk requesting meeting space from a community college, and, most interestingly, a letter from an inmate to the network, asking if it accepts incest perpetrators who were also victims themselves.

Founded in 1983, the focus of the network is to break the generational cycle of incest. Through a victim sponsorship program, the network, which is entirely staffed by incest survivors, hopes to spread awareness of incest as a pervasive phenomenon in communities.

Obviously these documents fit into the already existing section on childhood sexual assault.
