National End to Sexual Violence Day
Business woman joins thousands of others to honor National End To Sexual Violence Day. All survivors of sexual violence, their friends and loved ones and anyone wishing to raise awareness or show support are encouraged to wear shirts displaying messages against sexual violence or teal shirts-- the color which represents sexual assault awareness.
Wilmington, DE, April 07, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Local business women encourages others.
Over 70 people crowded into Purnell Hall, room 115 at University of Delaware on Wed, April 5th 2006 to hear Jessi LaCosta recall a traumatic night she endured as a young woman.
When just 16, LaCosta, now a communications coach, left her part-time job and then quickly was facing a man with a gun at her head. She was abducted and sexually assaulted – but was also eventually retuned safely to her neighborhood. LaCosta believes that her story-telling abilities and analytical skills saved her that night. She shared with a captivated audience how she endured the evening and what changes she made in her life since.
A student commented afterwards, “Thank you so much for coming. I think this was the first time I had attended one of these events and a survivor talked about it in a more positive light. This time I really listened.”
Yesterday, April 7th, LaCosta joined thousands of others to honor National End To Sexual Violence Day. All survivors of sexual violence, their friends and loved ones and anyone wishing to raise awareness or show support are encouraged to wear shirts displaying messages against sexual violence or teal shirts-- the color which represents sexual assault awareness.
