Take Back the Night 2021 was originally scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 14. In place of the physical march and speak out, the Haven Project is now asking for anonymous survivor stories so we can hold a Virtual Speak Out on April 14 at 5:00 p.m. to continue to support victims and survivors of sexual violence.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Just because we can't gather together in person, doesn't mean we still can't support one another!
Anyone who is interested in sharing their story of sexual assault can do so anonymously via the Google doc linked below. We ask that if you submit a story, please leave out any identifying information for yourself and the person that caused the assault (name, major identifying features, etc.). The Haven Project will read the stories on April 14 at 5:00 p.m. via Haven Project social media, Haven Project website, and IUP's YouTube channel. We want to continue to show our support for victims and survivors of sexual assault.
Anonymous Google Doc for Survivor Stories
The deadline to submit a story is Monday, April 5, 2021, at noon.
We recognize that this is a difficult topic to talk about, and here are some resources if you would need to reach out.
