Survivors of Incest Anonymous (SIA) is a twelve-step fellowship for recovery from the consequences of childhood sexual abuse.
[1] In SIA incest is defined broadly as any sexual behavior imposed on one person by a member of his or her immediate or extended family.
In 1987 SIA merged with Sexual Abuse Anonymous headquartered in Long Beach, California.
Sociologist Nancy A. Naples saw the structure of twelve-step fellowships as being antithetical to social change as such groups discourage members from collective political engagement.
Armstrong suggested survivor-generated feminists advocacy organizations challenging the dominant discourse on sexual abuse as a viable alternative.
