Domestic Violence Wears Many Tags is one of the organizations I work with as Miss Guinea NA so the other day I attended one of their meetings. As I'm sure most people don't know, April is National Sexual Assault Awareness month.
Quick Facts:
Every 2 mins someone in the US is sexually assaulted
60% of assaults are not reported to the police
15/16 rapists will never spend a day in jail
About 2/3 assaults are committed by someone the victim knows
The event was a success, I got to speak to the people and share my views on domestic violence in Guinea. The founder of DVWMT, Queen Afi showered us with knowledge about sexual abuse and we even had the kids involved, informing them about the the dangers of sexual behavior, what is considered appropriate and inappropriate contact and what is statutory rape. There was a special guest "Beautiful Believer" who shared her amazing story with us and delivered a powerful spoken word monologue. Here are a few photos form the event.
