NO! The Rape Documentary is the seminal work–always a work in progress–of Aishah Simmons, a survivor of sexual violence. Simmons has made it her life’s work to humanely disrupt the inhumane epidemic of sexual violence. The Affirmations! program will discuss breaking silences around childhood and adult sexual violence and explore distinct visions for restorative pathways through trauma.
Once registered, participants can access the award-winning documentary for viewing prior to the event with a special code. Please be mindful of possible triggers while participating in the overall Affirmation’s experience.
This event is free but donations to defray costs are appreciate. Please visit the OBS website’s Donation page. Thank you.
