Together We Can Make a Difference

Did You Know???

• Indiana is #2 IN THE U.S. FOR RAPE among 9th-12th grade females ( for all of those wondering who number 1 is... it is Wyoming) 
• 1 in 5 women and 1 in 12 men in Indiana have been raped in their lifetime. 
• Sexual assault occurs EVERY 2 MINUTES. 
• More women have been sexually assaulted than the number of women who smoke.

 These statistics are alarming and if we don't do something now, what will this mean for the future of our children?????

A FUN WAY TO HELP

A TEAM EFFORT

The Fair Haven Center for Women, Survivors Taking a New Direction (STAND) and the Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault (INCASA) are presenting a fun and meaningful opportunity to help raise awareness, promote healing and eradicate the epidemic of sexual assault in the state of Indiana.

According to statistics, Indiana has the second highest rate of rape in the nation among high school females. In the United States, one sexual assault occurs every two minutes. Furthermore, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 12 men have been a victim of rape in their lifetime. 

Each year, sexual assault funding decreases and has a significant impact on the programs and services available to those who so desperately need it. Non Profit Coalitions such as INCASA are met with a challenge of raising funds to continue the work and keep sexual violence movement in the forefront.

Here is your opportunity to take a STAND and say "No More!"
