Sexual Assault Awareness month takes place every April, and one Stockton non-profit chose a unique theme to raise awareness about the issue.
Women s Center-Youth & Family Services (WCYFS), located at 620 N San Joaquin St in Stockton, describe themselves as San Joaquin County s primary provider of free, confidential services and shelters specifically designed to meet the needs of homeless and runaway youth and victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking, according to their official website.
