Gloucester Township Participates in Denim Day for Sexual Assault Awareness

Gloucester Township participated in Denim Day on Wednesday. Denim Day was adopted by the State of New Jersey in 2010 as a way to raise awareness about sexual violence. It is held every April, which is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Denim Day is a call to action and a way for individuals, companies, organizations, and schools throughout southern New Jersey to join together to change the attitudes about sexual violence and increase awareness about the importance of sexual violence prevention.

The Center For Family Services operates a 24 hour live sexual assault and domestic violence hotline at 1-866-295-7378 .

It also provides advocate accompaniments to hospital emergency rooms, police stations, college campuses, and court. It offers individual and group counseling, provides safe shelter for victims of domestic violence and their children, and implements a prevention program so that violence is no longer a public health epidemic.
