Wittenberg, Urbana address domestic violence with events
Wittenberg and Urbana universities will mark Domestic Violence Awareness Month with events today and tomorrow, Oct. 27 and 28.
The Wittenberg Sexual Assault Advocacy and Prevention Program (SAAP) is partnering with Project Woman to host the Clothesline Project in the Benham-Pence Student Center today, while Urbana University’s Student Activities Committee will hold a women’s self-defense program “Girls Fight Back,” 9 p.m. Wednesday, in the Sara Landess Room of the Student Center.
The Clothesline Project is a nationwide program which creates t-shirt displays to bear witness to violence against women. The t-shirts, some of which were designed by Wittenberg students earlier this month, will hang in the student center.
Member of SAAP and Project Woman will be available to hand out literature.
“Girls Fight Back” is a national organization formed in response to the 2001 killing of a college student in Illinois.
During Wednesday’s program at Urbana, women will learn how to avoid dangerous situations, and if things go wrong, what to do to stay alive.
Both events are free and open to the public.
Urbana’s event is open to women only.
