SUMMARY:No one asks for it! Wear purple on Friday\, May 6th 2011!
DESCRIPTION:No one asks for it! On Friday\, May 6th 2011\, join us in wearing
 purple in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month in
 Canada!\n
  \n
 In January\, a Toronto police officer at a campus safety
 information session at York University's Osgoode Hall Law School
 suggested women could avoid sexual assault by not dressing "like
 sluts”. \n
 \n
 In February\, a Manitoba judge gave a conditional two year
 sentence to a man convicted of sexual assault (meaning he would
 not serve jail time) stating the victim had been wearing a tube
 top\, high heels\, a lot of makeup\, and that “sex was in the
 air” the night of the assault.\n
 \n
 Sexual violence is far more common than most people think. One in
 three women in our nation will experience some form of sexual
 assault in their lifetime.  Despite the prevalence and impact of
 this crime\, sexual assaults have notoriously low reporting
 rates\; more than 90% of victims do not report their experiences
 to the police.  \n
 \n
 No doubt\, Canadians’ continual exposure to cases in which
 women are blamed for their own sexual victimization impacts many
 women’s decision to speak out after experiencing an assault. \n
 \n
 On Friday\, May 6th 2011\, join us in standing up in recognition
 of those who have experienced sexual violence in our nation. \n
 \n
 Please share this event on your facebook and help spread the word
 about the campaign!\n
