Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. At our annual Take Back the Night event in Flagstaff (Tuesday April 12th, beginning at 5:30 pm) we would like to present three community members from our county with recognition awards for their hard work in both intervening and preventing sexual violence.

The three categories are:

· An outstanding community member who has shown dedication and passion in the intervention realm of sexual violence. (Examples may include: advocates, law enforcement, criminal justice personnel, medical staff…)

· An outstanding community member who has shown dedication and passion in the prevention arena of sexual violence. (Examples may include: Prevention educators, prevention activists, policy/procedure writers, community education activists, political activists, media staff, media producers…)

· An outstanding YOUTH community member who has shown dedication and passion in addressing sexual violence and promoting healthy relationships. (Examples may include: Youth activists, youth artists…)

If you know of anyone who may fit into any of these categories (you may nominate a person for each!) please email me with a short paragraph explaining why you feel this community member should be considered for this award by March 16th, 2011.

Thank you for taking the time to think of ways in which our neighbors, colleagues, friends and partners work to end sexual violence in our communities!
