A safety plan helps you have a strategy in place for safely escaping a dangerous or frightening encounter with an abuser, even if it’s just temporarily. A safety plan can also help prepare you to leave an abuser for good.

Here is a safety planning tip for you to keep in mind. Please remember, a safety plan is not a replacement for calling 911 if you’re in an immediately dangerous situation.

Denim Day started in 1999 in Italy, after a court overturned a r**e conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans. This sparked outrage, and women across the country protested by wearing jeans to work, showing that clothing is never an invitation for sexual assault.

Today, Denim Day has grown into a global movement, raising awareness about sexual violence, challenging victim-blaming, and standing in solidarity with survivors.

Wearing denim on April 29 is a simple yet powerful way to show support, spark conversation, and promote a culture of consent and respect.

Many abusive relationships develop gradually and, at first, it might be tempting to label an abuser’s behaviour as harmless, perhaps just signs of love, jealousy, or emotional insecurity. However, this is never true. Abuse is always about having power and control over another. Here is a red flag that you may be in a controlling or abusive relationship.

Nothing you did contributed towards the abuse you have faced, and you are not alone. Please contact us at 905-836-7601, info@yrccs.ca, or www.yrccs.ca to get connected to a trained domestic violence Advocate and let us help. All our services are confidential.
