Sexual Assault Awareness Month: "See That Woman Over There"
StoryCenter Admin
April is Sexual Assault Awareness month. StoryCenter is currently recognizing the importance of speaking out about rape and abuse by sharing new and archived pieces from our blog. Today, a riveting and unique digital story from Ruthie Jordan, about women at the intersection of Deafness and experiences of sexual assault.
Produced in association with the Colorado Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
"Ruthie Jordan shares her survivor of sexual assault experience through this compelling short film. She continues to stand for justice on a collective scale for all women – especially for Jini Barnum, a woman who is no longer present to stand and see her own justice transpire. Often times Deaf women are not aware of their rights when such assault occurs. Ruthie has produced this film to ignite hope and inspire courage within her community to stop allowing power play coercion acts to occur and advocate for yourself – YOU are worth it!"
