SARVA Week
Seattle-area folks!
I've totally been lax on making announcements about this, but SARVA Week is going on right now! For those of you unfamiliar with the event, SARVA (Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Awareness) Week is an annual event organized by C.O.R.E. (the Committee Organizing Rape Education, of which I am a volunteer). Through events, posters, and other displays, SARVA Week seeks to raise awareness on campus about the issues of sexual assault and relationship (domestic) violence.
Every night of this week through Thursday, there will be an event on campus in the HUB that educates people about sexual violence. (There was one just tonight and it was fabulous.) All events are free and open to the public.
Tuesday, April 3
7:30 pm
HUB Auditorium
"The J-Spot: A Sex Educator Tells All," featuring Jay Friedman: Using a combination of personal stories and cultural observation, Jay Friedman will inspire the event participants to challenge societal messages and to learn how to develop healthy relationships.
Wednesday, April 4
7:00 pm
HUB East Ballroom
"Sex Signals": IFC and Panhellenic Association will present "Sex Signals," which is a nationally accredited program that uses humor and interactive skits in order to educate college students about effective communication skills.
Thursday, April 5
7:30 pm
HUB Auditorium
"Take Back the Night Rally": The rally will provide the university community with a venue in which to speak out against the violence that members have endured. The rally will feature keynote speakers Margo Myers and Jennifer Self.
On Friday, there is no evening event, but there is "Denim Day": CORE and the ASUW Commissions will present Denim Day, which is an international movement in which people are encouraged to express themselves freely and to celebrate the supportive environment that we are creating by confronting the silence surrounding sexual assault and relationship violence. All members of the university community are encouraged to wear their favorite pair of jeans in order to support survivors of sexual assault and relationship violence.
I plan to go to all of these events. Please come and show your support!
