25 YEARS STRONGER: LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD.

25 Years of Sexual Assault Awareness Month 

 

Did you know that this April marks the 25th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month? This year’s theme, “25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward,” celebrates the resilience of survivors and the communities that have worked for change. For the entire month, EDP will be sharing resources and ways to empower survivors and communities on our social media accounts.

 

Although SAAM was recognized nationally in 2001, there have been advocates for sexual violence prevention as long as there have been people who care about making the world a better place. Esperanza Dance Project is proud to continue the work of activists throughout history as we utilize our powerful dance performances to connect with young survivors, share resources with them, and help them to understand that they are not alone.

This April, EDP is hoping to raise $5,000 to sustain our vital work. As the news cycle continues to re-traumatize survivors, our message of support and hope for healing has become more important than ever. If you are a survivor and are in need of resources, click here. You can also reach out to us via social media DM, email (esperanzadanceproject@gmail.com), or through this contact form. We believe you. 

To support our SAAM campaign, donate here or mail us a check to 4500 N Oracle Rd. Suite 100, Tucson, AZ 85705. 

 

We are also participating in Arizona Gives Day on April 7th. You can help us reach our $2,000 goal by donating here.
