As April approaches the Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault prepares to shed light on the issue of sex crimes and the trauma that follows during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Erin Domonousky, with Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault, brings attention to the “Turn Our Town Teal” initiative as teal ribbons will be strewn about the Christain County Courthouse, showing support and strength to those who have suffered sexual abuse.
A recent uptick in sexual assault crimes has been seen. Domonousky attributes this to the normalization of victims coming forward and speaking out to bring justice to abusers.
Domonousky says volunteers are welcome to assist in decorating the courthouse with teal ribbons.
Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault has a 24-hour hotline for individuals needing their services, call 217-753-8081.
Erin Domonousky appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
