Covid-19 Update
In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month...
We invite you to participate in our Denim Day campaign. This campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court where a woman’s rape conviction was overturned because the justice system decided that since she was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove her jeans, thereby implying consent. In response to this case, the Denim Day campaign was developed to bring awareness to victim-blaming in sexual violence all across the world. Please join us in spreading awareness and help put a halt to sexual assault by wearing jeans on April 24th. With just a $5 donation, you can support services that help survivors of sexual violence. All participants will receive a starter packet.
Wear denim
One of the best ways to observe this day is by wearing denim. It doesn’t have to be jeans as you
can wear denim jackets, shirts, hats, etc.
Raise your voice
Raise your voice in support of the survivors and victims. Do not stay silent for them and
yourself. Show the perpetrators that you stand against them and will do anything to stop them.
Spread awareness
Spread awareness in your circles and on social media. Call out the apologists for their twisted
viewpoints. It’s the 21st century and, while we may have progressed tremendously in the fields
of science and technology, many of us still have orthodox views on sexual assault and other
societal issues.

The success stories of those who chose SAFE, INC.
By: Madison Caver, Case Manager

This is a story about a woman who decided to say NO to her abusive partner and YES to a healthy lifestyle. Macy was nervous about this transition because she had never lived on her own before. A few days after experiencing the last physical abuse from her boyfriend, Macy sought help from SAFE, Inc. After calling the hotline number and completing an assessment, Macy was approved for emergency shelter. Macy entered the shelter with visible marks from the abuse and the clothes on her back. SAFE, Inc. assisted Macy with immediate needs such as clothing, hygiene products, bedding, and nutrition. Macy also received transportation, counseling, case management, and court advocacy. She attended life skills groups to prepare herself with budgeting, nutrition, coping skills, and stress management. She attended support groups, individual counseling, and medical appointments. Macy quickly got a job and began saving money. Once meeting the majority of her goals, she began her relocation process. With the help of SAFE, Inc.’s assistance programs, Macy was able to relocate into secure housing. Macy filled her home with donated items from our warehouse. Since beginning her journey in a healthy environment, Macy has continued to attend counseling sessions. She has experienced bumps in her road to recovery, but she looks to healthy resources, such as SAFE, Inc., for guidance.
