“A revolution always begins from within. This one begins when you decide how you will hold the issues of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse within you, and how you live out that decision.”
~Mariska Hargitay
Sexual violence is a common and widespread issue that impacts our community every day. In any given classroom of 25 children, five of them will experience sexual victimization before they turn 18 based on national victimization rates. This is an issue that impacts people of all ages, genders, and neighborhoods. There are over 23 million survivors of sexual assault in the United States, and it is time to say “NO MORE” to this crime in our community.
We are asking you to join our efforts to prevent sexual violence and promote healing in Lebanon County by sponsoring our walk and accompanying healing activities! This year the 15th Annual #Thriver Walk will be held in conjunction with a Student-led Sexual Assault Awareness Month Speak-out. The event will take place on Thursday, April 24 at Monument Park in Lebanon City. We invite you to set up a resource table at the Walk and Speak-Out event.
Join us in making real and lasting change in our community. Promote better health, greater opportunities for healing, and resilient futures for every survivor.
