Hidden Joy in a Dark Corner

Sexual assault is a crime of opportunity.  Rarely is a woman assaulted by a stalker.  A perpetrator selects his victim because by her actions (carelessly or unintentionally), she has made herself an easy target.  The key to avoid being a rapist's next victim is awareness. By following a few simple steps, you can avoid being an easy target!  Every 21 hours, at US college campuses alone, someone is raped. Shocking statistics indicate that only 10% of women who are assaulted come forward, and of those who have acknowledged participation in non-consensual sex, only 40% of those are willing to call this rape. Join Patty and Lisa as they speak with Wendy Blight, author of the inspirational book “Hidden Joy in a Dark Corner” regarding ways that you can keep yourself safe and what to do if you or someone you care about has been assaulted.  It’s a show you won’t want to miss, this Thursday, 10 am MST.  For more information visit Wendy's site, www.wendyblight.com.
