April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). This year’s theme is “We Can Build Safe Online Spaces.” Sexual harassment, assault, and abuse can happen anywhere, including online. As we connect online— whether in workspaces, classrooms, or social media platforms—we can learn how to practice digital consent, intervene when we see harmful content or behaviors, and ensure that online spaces are safe and respectful.
Locally, AWARE, Inc. will be hosting a virtual fitness fundraiser sponsored by Henry Ford Allegiance Health that will run April 1-30. The cost to join is $30 per person. Funds raised will be used to support the operating costs to implement sexual assault services. Services include legal advocacy, emergency shelter, counseling, and accompaniment during a medical exam. To sign up visit www.awareshelter.org/make-a-donation/donate-now/ and choose the option that says TBTN Fitness Challenge.
The virtual fitness challenge encourages participants to trek 33.5 miles by running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing, skiing, or other physical exercise. The first 8 people to complete the mission will receive a glow in the dark Take Back the Night T-shirt.
AWARE is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization and a United Way partner, with a mission to eliminate domestic and sexual violence while promoting social change and empowering survivors by offering free shelter and services.
