Having the conversation

With Sexual Violence Awareness Month being observed, the Lloydminster Sexual Assault Services (LSAS) wants to address the issue from the perspective of having the conversation.

While sexual violence may still be a taboo topic for some its important to raise awareness by talking about the reality.

LSAS points out that:

  • One in two girls will experience some form of sexual violence before the age of 18 years
  • One in four boys will experience some form of sexual violence before the age of 18 years
  • In Alberta, two in three women, and one in three men have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime

More Resources

LSAS encourages you to have the conversation about these matters. More details are available on its website. Also in Alberta at Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services, and the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
