This is Sexual Assault Awareness Week — a time to raise public awareness about sexual assault and educate Islanders on how to better respond to and prevent sexual violence.
Throughout the week, the PEI Rape and Sexual Assault Centre is creating safe and welcoming spaces where Islanders can come together to learn, share, heal and be empowered.
On Thursday, Islanders from across the province will join at Beaconsfield Historic House Carriage House in Charlottetown for the annual Take Back the Night march against sexual and gender-based violence. Take Back the Night is the oldest worldwide movement to stand against sexual violence. Funding for Take Back the Night activities in PEI is provided through the Interministerial Women’s Secretariat.
