Stop the Violence, End the Silence!

THIS Friday, Nov. 20th, The Jane Doe Project will be presented in the Wege Ballroom at 7pm. This is your chance to hear the stories of heroic Aquinas women who have been, or are related to, victims of sexual and physical abuse. Their perseverance and willingness to share their testimonies is what makes this production so powerful. Come and support these women, and the students that take the stage to tell their stories! Due to the nature of the subject-matter, we recommend that no children attend. Entrance is free, though donations will be greatly appreciated and go to benefit the YWCA's Help and Shelter unit.
