Family-Friendly Fundraiser

On Sunday August 29th, you can attend a great family-friendly fundraiser with music and silent auction at the Blue Moose (211 Iowa Ave) in Iowa City. Music will be provided by B. F. Burt and His Band (soul, jazz and blues). Tickets (donations) are $10.00 and are available at RVAP and local business. See flyer for more details.

What it’s Like: Sexual Assault Advocacy

What it’s Like: Sexual Assault Advocacy is an exercise designed to allow participants to experience the complex emotions and issues that victim/survivors of sexual violence on campus face during their healing process. Sexual assault is an attack on body, mind, and spirit. Often your spirit is wounded even more profoundly than your body. When those wounds are not visible, it can be hard to understand why they are still painful. Participants will follow a character through different stations and stages of the healing process. Each participant will make choices for his or her character.

What it’s Like: Sexual Assault Advocacy was created with kind permission from the Houston Area Women’s Center. Their program, Walking the Walk: A Sexual Violence Awareness Exercise has been a wonderful resource allowing people to become familiar with the complexities that victim/survivors face.
