From Women's Resource Center in Scranton, in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month…
“Each year, WRC celebrates SAAM in a way that allows us to publicly share information and resources, as well as partner with other members of our community to shine a light on the impact sexual violence, has on our community. This is so vital because the statistics point to a reality where many of us are either survivors ourselves or know someone who is. We want to make sure that individuals know where to seek support as they begin their journey toward healing.” – Tiffany Benedict, WRC Susquehanna County Program Manager
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), the goal of which is for individuals and organizations to raise public awareness about sexual harassment, assault, and abuse and educate communities on how to prevent it. As such, we invite you to participate in the below events – regardless of where you live!
Denim Day
Wednesday, April 28th
Later in the month, show your support for survivors on Denim Day, Wednesday, April 28th. This campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a rape conviction was overturned because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped her rapist remove them, thereby implying consent. The following day, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim. Again, make sure to take a picture, post on your social media pages, and tag us on Facebook
