Last week, leaders from the Zonta Club of Cleveland (ZontaCC), Hope & Healing Survivor Resource Center (H&HSRC), and Cleveland Rape Crisis Center came together to discuss Sexual Assault and Human Trafficking in NE Ohio: Trends and Call to Action. The night was spent discussing ways we can create meaningful change in our communities to ensure every survivor feels supported. We also filled over 30 hygiene kits with blankets, necessities, and gas cards for survivors. We are proud to work alongside ZontaCC and H&HSRC as we push forward in our mission to eliminate sexual violence and create lasting change. Every survivor deserves support, and together, we can make it happen.
