Share Your Story for the “What Were You Wearing?” Exhibit

In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April, LLCC and PCASA are proud to present the “What Were You Wearing?” exhibit. This powerful exhibit aims to challenge the harmful myth that a survivor’s clothing contributes to sexual assault. We invite survivors to anonymously share their stories and the outfits they were wearing at the time of their assault. Your voice is crucial in helping to highlight the diverse and varied experiences of sexual violence.

If you would like to contribute, please anonymously submit your story and outfit details by March 1, 2025.

Your participation will help raise awareness and promote healing for all survivors.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference.
For more information contact Shelley Vaughan, compliance and prevention coordinator.
