The Awareness Center believes Jewish survivors of sexual violence should be given yellow ribbons to wear proudly.
Survivors
of sexual violence (as adults and/or as a child) are just as deserving
of a yellow ribbon as the men and women of our armed forces, who have
been held captive as hostages or prisoners of war. Survivors of sexual
violence have been forced to learn how to survive, being held captive
not by foreigners, but mostly by their own family members, teachers,
camp counselors, coaches babysitters, rabbis, cantors or other trusted
authority figures. For these reasons ALL survivors of sexual violence
should be seen as heroes!
