TOGETHER WE ACT,
UNITED WE CHANGE.
April is Sexual Violence Awareness Month, a time to stand in solidarity with survivors and fight for a world free from sexual violence. This year’s theme, "Together We Act, United We Change" highlights the importance of working together to address and prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of sexual violence in their lifetime.* LGBTQ+ folks are at an even higher risk, with 47% of transgender people experiencing sexual violence in their lifetime.** Together, we can make a difference.
This month, we’re taking action through education, advocacy, and support for survivors. Here’s how you can be part of the movement:
DONATE
DONATION LEVELS
$1000 sponsors one dancer’s participation for a year, ensuring that our dancers will not have cost barriers that would prevent them from being able to attend rehearsals or performances.
$500 helps train advocates to support young survivors, empowering hundreds of students with awareness, resources, and hope.
$250 provides essential props, costumes, and materials that make our performances impactful and immersive for students.
$100 supports a live performance, using the power of movement to spark crucial conversations about consent, healing, and resilience.
$50 helps cover travel costs for our dancers, ensuring we can reach more schools and students in need of this message.
$25 provides educational materials for one classroom, helping students understand the impact of sexual violence and how to seek help.
Our goal is to raise $5,000 this April to help us bring our impactful performances to Arizona schools. Esperanza’s school performances create crucial safe spaces for youth to break the stigma around talking about sexual violence and leave students with resources that help them to feel hopeful and empowered.
