Survivor Empowerment Walk

Sexual Assault Awareness Starts in the Community.

April is known as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the purpose behind the month is to raise awareness and show survivors they are believed and supported.

We will be holding signs of empowerment and showing survivors that the community supports and believes them. After the walk we will have survivors and supporters sharing a message followed by a candlelight vigil to show survivors they are believed and supported here. There will be resources provided for anyone needing more information or learning about the services in your area.

If you or a survivor you know is interested in sharing your story, poem, quote, or message of support please contact Siobhan McGoorty at saaptc19@gmail.com or 772-201-8832 to be added to the list. There will be 2 minutes allotted for each speaker.

Sexual Assault Survivors will be provided with a safe space where their voices are heard, their experiences are validated, and where they can receive the necessary support from resources in their counties. We must create an environment that fosters belief, understanding, and safety for survivors of sexual assault. Your voices are not only heard but also valued and what you say matters. You are not alone.

Rape Crisis Counselors will be present at all locations for survivors that are triggered and need support.
