VOICES of Stephenson County is planning various activities to mark April's designation as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The events range from a social media community awareness campaign to the annual book sale (see below). The theme of this year's observance is building Safe Online Spaces Together.
Sexual assault and abuse has risen dramatically in our community in the last two years, spurred upward by the closeness created by the pandemic. In this fiscal year, with three months remaining, VOICES already has served more sexual assault and abuse survivors than it did during the entire previous fiscal year. VOICES is committed to supporting these survivors with advocacy, counseling and housing as they journey toward healing.
