Reflection event set for International Women’s Day
In recognition of International Women’s Day, the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre (CASASC), the Students’ Association of Red Deer College (S.A.) and two third-year BScN students of RDC will partner together for This is What I Was Wearing When It Happened, a reflection event.
Join us on Thursday, March 8 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Forum in Red Deer College, 100 College Blvd. Red Deer, AB for this interactive and thought-provoking exhibit.
The purpose of this reflection is to bring awareness to the issue of victim blaming and the stigma surrounding women’s clothing as the reason why they were sexually assaulted.
The exhibit will feature live mannequins wearing various types of clothing victims were wearing at the time they were assaulted. This is meant to be a real life representation, a visual way to bring awareness around the still existing stigma.
