YWCA Regina is using a different approach to raise awareness around sexual assault with their 2021 Blamé campaign this spring.
The campaign, now in its fifth consecutive year in Regina, runs from May 10 to 14, a week prior to Saskatchewan Sexual Violence Awareness Week from May 17 to 21. The Blamé movement was created by YWCA Canada to draw attention to situations when survivors of sexual violence face judgment instead of support.
In the past, the campaign through YWCA Regina drew attention to sexual assault in public spaces like bars and restaurants. The organization did this by teaming up with businesses in the community where coasters would be used at tables to bring attention to the topic.
