April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and our local sexual assault crisis center is turning the downtown teal.
Prairie Center Against Sexual Assault (PCASA) has launched their annual âWalk A Mile In Her Shoesâ campaign. The event, which is usually held on the streets of downtown will be held virtually for another year â participants can walk, raise funds and awareness all month long.
Teal ribbons went up late last week to remind residents of the importance of services like PCASA, whose offices have been closed to the public since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), and a number of local organizations and locations are participating in the “What Were You Wearing?” Campaign to educate the community.
Marion Police Chief Angela Haley explained, “The Marion Police Department and the City of Marion wanted to participate in the “What Were You Wearing?” Campaign to help break down the stigma of Sexual Assault. We want victims to know that they are not alone and do not need to suffer in silence. MPD stands ready to investigate and assist in prosecution to hold perpetrators accountable. Our Victim’s Advocate and Hands of Hope with Family Services stand ready to support victims of Sexual Assault in their recovery.”
