Phoenix Rising honors Sexual Assault Awareness Month

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and one local organization is here for victims of trafficking.

Phoenix Rising offers survivor mentoring, community sessions and interactions that help youth feel more comfortable with setting boundaries and their bodies.

They hope to guide these survivors on their journey of healing.

It’s incredibly important to learn as much as possible about helping these survivors, because organizations like Phoenix Rising can’t do it alone.

“Through having heightened awareness around sexual assault and its prevalence and its many different forms, that allows organizations like ourselves, as well as the community members to better support survivors, to hold perpetrators accountable and just to do a better job overall of combating, trafficking and sexual assault in its many different forms,” Mariah Yates, a board member of Phoenix Rising.
