Walk for Awareness

The good thing about activism is this: you don’t have to have tons of money, be a big star, or know everything about the laws that surround sexual assault in order to have your voice be heard. Think about what Lauren Book-Lim is doing this week. She’s walking 500 miles to help create awareness about sexual assault and sexual abuse. While en route, Lauren will stop at sexual assault centers to highlight their need for funding and support.

Lauren was sexually abused by her nanny, starting when she was ten years old. It was seven years later when she finally told someone. “I always knew I could talk to my dad or mom about anything that happened. But I was stunned, embarrassed, ashamed.”

Lauren now works to prevent abuse through her organization, Lauren’s Kids.
