Trigger Warning!!

Today we collaborated with Riverview Center and TWRG at Cornell College to host "The Clothesline Project" a project developed in 1990 in Cape Code, MA to raise the awareness through a visual display of T-Shirts with emotions shared by artistic expressions for those survivors of violence.

Huge thanks to those at TWRG for these testimonial t-shirts and staff/students at Cornell for helping setup this display for Sexual Assault Awareness Month!

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) and we want to bring awareness to male sexual assault victims.

At least 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual abuse or assault, whether it was in childhood or as adults. There is the belief that male survivors, especially if abused as a child, will go on to become offenders themselves. This stigma may negatively impact a male survivor's social experiences, and it may also lead male survivors to avoid disclosure.

If the perpetrator is a man, the survivor he may even question his own sexuality, and so this stigma may negatively impact a male survivor's life, which may lead male survivors to avoid disclosure.
