WHO: Angela Shelton and Wendy Murphy joined PAVE’s Executive Director Angela Rose for this groundbreaking effort. In July 2007, PAVE: PROMOTING AWARENESS, VICTIM EMPOWERMENT organized the emergency national protest dubbed “Call it RAPE” in response to the silencing of rape victims in court. The protest was covered by CNN, TODAY SHOW and TIME. For more information on the campaign organizers, please visit our website.
WHAT: The Report IT on Angela Shelton Day Campaign features an anonymous online reporting system to gather statistics on the occurrences of sex crimes. On April 29, 2008 hailed Angela Shelton Day, protests will be organized in every state to showcase solidarity of the movement to end sexual violence as well as a call to action for the system to stop re-victimizing survivors.
WHY: It has been shown that over 80% over sexual assaults go unreported. Moreover, sexual assault survivors across the country are often re-victimized upon reporting the crime to the authorities. It is time for all victims to REPORT IT!
