2008 National Protest, Shatter the Silence of Sexual Victims



WHAT: National Protest
WHERE: Your Local Courthouse
WHEN: February 19 @ Noon

Folks are using motion pictures and distribution, tagging, social media to get their messages out.

Go to Paving The Way to see if your county is listed.

That's 'PAVE' -

Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment is a national, multi-chapter, grassroots nonprofit. PAVE uses education and action to shatter the silence of sexual and domestic violence. PAVE's work has been featured on CNN, Today Show, and in TIME.

PAVE says:

Sexual Violence Affects You!

1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. Every person knows a survivor, but the silence that surrounds these issues allow this public health crisis to continue! Over 80% of sex crimes go unreported...

Shatter the Silence of Sexual Violence!

Their flyer for Albany, NY is enclosed.

Silence kills.
