Please check back often for more Sexual Assault Awareness Month events!
#WomankindStories
This SAAM, Womankind is proud to bring you personal stories from survivors of sexual violence—among staff and those we serve. Each person's pathway is unique, and we’re so honored to support them along the way. Click graphic to view on Instagram. PS: Look for the teal-shaded posts!
On the heels of the #MeToo and #Timesup movement, our ally and community partner Sakhi for South Asian Women, Karuna Chani of KC Makeup, and Brown Girl Magazine reunite for the second year in a row to give South Asian survivors in our community a platform to share their stories and accounts of sexual harassment and assault. Buy your ticket today.
