More will hopefully be posted soon!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782503.post-85563887369758087642009-04-27T15:07:00.003-07:002009-04-27T15:14:58.673-07:00Honoring the victims from Bozeman and Great Falls<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='356' height='258' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxMGz0vKYGdOrHwsvnH7XbusCuZJy9KkfxL26XDm1kTN4zGt1U8iWkzYoJROnKNHCbRrX--5EE2FiA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782503.post-28047268780426148752009-04-27T14:57:00.002-07:002009-04-27T15:06:41.753-07:00Take Back The Night Photos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFSHUIfnVg7sIq4DUMD84OV5MnVrFhTZp0ngsz_iF2D12m_QTuKQ4vLQYWEHR9c4lXLPBwgSlmwV6GUrl3ocE7JaHgfltY0YeETKhGirM8FcDWQL4Xb7Qr5FyBzJV8CMHF2KUJw/s1600-h/DSCN0465.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329494979289527682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFSHUIfnVg7sIq4DUMD84OV5MnVrFhTZp0ngsz_iF2D12m_QTuKQ4vLQYWEHR9c4lXLPBwgSlmwV6GUrl3ocE7JaHgfltY0YeETKhGirM8FcDWQL4Xb7Qr5FyBzJV8CMHF2KUJw/s400/DSCN0465.JPG" border="0" /></a> Danielle Wozniak presenting at St. John's Episcopal Church April 24, 2009.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlyZUMTM2BruNijSDj7D_9tgUF0db8oe3gubLUNnLHeaJIURFfqiQttOGES_g2VsU_G4J3B_bTYzj0_RNQKbH3PWMHNWGRrqeaDhqzgcgBI3f8Z3S8KIEjPI_7U6cv0OqVRAcbiQ/s1600-h/DSCN0462.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329494976292207842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlyZUMTM2BruNijSDj7D_9tgUF0db8oe3gubLUNnLHeaJIURFfqiQttOGES_g2VsU_G4J3B_bTYzj0_RNQKbH3PWMHNWGRrqeaDhqzgcgBI3f8Z3S8KIEjPI_7U6cv0OqVRAcbiQ/s400/DSCN0462.JPG" border="0" /></a> The crowd gathered for Danielle's speech and potluck dinner!<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKP-fExqi93kTLXue2WoS44x3NeFtQtqLoeqEWfNlnA8thekCxgiS6sAa9Pobt2z5XbHMfvYgPTo61D-CmWxB4HVTp_FPZG_kaploeJgBy60E7AOMUmoPViwngkDLEhdspmk9YPA/s1600-h/DSCN0447.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329494973696373634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKP-fExqi93kTLXue2WoS44x3NeFtQtqLoeqEWfNlnA8thekCxgiS6sAa9Pobt2z5XbHMfvYgPTo61D-CmWxB4HVTp_FPZG_kaploeJgBy60E7AOMUmoPViwngkDLEhdspmk9YPA/s400/DSCN0447.JPG" border="0" /></a> Rose Brock presenting the Peace Cairn at Peace Park, just before the speak out began.<br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjckiqF-_IMrzXziHdZ1GTdmDNvMw96VzB5xnSUs8mvJXZS4tTj8GbFrB9KEdCMAVl721cVgnpTw5BbWHxOv4Ko4izjEVnbWF29bM8ukMTdd0wweBEAW4250tle6e0aqCn8VUk78w/s1600-h/DSCN0422.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329494967599738194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjckiqF-_IMrzXziHdZ1GTdmDNvMw96VzB5xnSUs8mvJXZS4tTj8GbFrB9KEdCMAVl721cVgnpTw5BbWHxOv4Ko4izjEVnbWF29bM8ukMTdd0wweBEAW4250tle6e0aqCn8VUk78w/s400/DSCN0422.JPG" border="0" /></a> Marci Robinson and Dona from the Copper King Express doing the final segment of the Live Remote!</div></div></div></div>Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782503.post-32641863028843594322009-04-27T14:35:00.002-07:002009-04-27T14:56:48.957-07:00Peace Cairn Video<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dypEk_r137HS1ZSA8stbudl7qEyeoPkfo4_kJi_hCYr4TftLIfhC87-H7tDrmqZK5SRbAF9xL7nAT0' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782503.post-9677613522261363202009-04-20T14:15:00.003-07:002009-04-20T14:21:25.353-07:00TAKE BACK THE NIGHT!!!Staff and volunteers are gearing up for the <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">5th Annual Take Back The Night</span> <span style="color:#cc33cc;">Event</span></span> slated to take place April 24th, 2009.

Today after the staff meeting I thought I'd better just update the blog with the new and exciting information that was discussed. Jori has set a date for the Spring Swing at the Fairmont Hot Springs Golf Tourney, it will take place on June 13, 2009. The cost is still going to be 45 dollars per person and 180 per 4 person team. It will begin at 9am with a shotgun start. <br /><br />Also, Bridget and I are going to be doing a contest at the local high school to go along with our Take Back the Night theme, which is "We are all in this together!" Take Back the Night will take place on April 24, 2009 starting at the Butte Silver Bow Court House at 5pm.

The 2 day event will be held the last Friday and Saturday of March. This event is free to all community members, and encourages survivors and family of victims to attend. The difference between a survivor and a victim as stated by the National Clothesline Project is one of empowerment; victim is someone who has passed away because of the violence, where as a survivor is someone who has lived to tell their tale.<br /><br />Hope to see you there!<br />Anita Pollock<br />AmeriCorps VISTA 08-09Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782503.post-2381538438802510172009-03-09T11:43:00.004-07:002009-03-17T21:11:42.014-07:00United Way's Day of the Child II<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1Wbbhrs34-7yKNmNBe1LBbJXjRhA6detPMnmKFLs3eNiOMN7mAeneLCgD9CDkD5RsonRl8S9Wh9xPTQ5R1NDJmCWkmnGkqX7bMO10hSGQ18ExkCn6kNe8XdrFixOmPslHICtjQ/s1600-h/DSCN0179.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311261315144398706" style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir1Wbbhrs34-7yKNmNBe1LBbJXjRhA6detPMnmKFLs3eNiOMN7mAeneLCgD9CDkD5RsonRl8S9Wh9xPTQ5R1NDJmCWkmnGkqX7bMO10hSGQ18ExkCn6kNe8XdrFixOmPslHICtjQ/s400/DSCN0179.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Bridget helping girls with their dream catchers!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKwbeROJ30zeqa5t6OghS21_HqWg-ay-qXxkaLMvQnn_w6LvebtXb2GDWrPENROS3hHFUbr3U0LQOnjdAaToXSeuoi-wiYUe4B00xjV47_O2Z6T3SoZg9gLhBU99gqG3-cDnsDQ/s1600-h/DSCN0174.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311261305476577986" style="width: 300px; height: 400px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAKwbeROJ30zeqa5t6OghS21_HqWg-ay-qXxkaLMvQnn_w6LvebtXb2GDWrPENROS3hHFUbr3U0LQOnjdAaToXSeuoi-wiYUe4B00xjV47_O2Z6T3SoZg9gLhBU99gqG3-cDnsDQ/s400/DSCN0174.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Tonya figuring out how to do her own dream catcher!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNsE9JclKSyg4Yg0OW1CAOTl4uW3Esfq0rwLs5RoMCm3cGu8h5JnEC90oS3J8Ut0kl1-mtIpcA_L5wy_UtpePaZuKrHBpNk414bl5Zo4ztUHUTWEei4JI2l1rJDEwo0IzW25hnAg/s1600-h/DSCN0185.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311261299377108722" style="width: 400px; height: 300px;" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNsE9JclKSyg4Yg0OW1CAOTl4uW3Esfq0rwLs5RoMCm3cGu8h5JnEC90oS3J8Ut0kl1-mtIpcA_L5wy_UtpePaZuKrHBpNk414bl5Zo4ztUHUTWEei4JI2l1rJDEwo0IzW25hnAg/s400/DSCN0185.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Carolyn, and the messy table, helping a little one with a dream catcher.<br /><br /><br />United Way hosts an annual Day of the Child event each spring. This year's theme was Renaissance, Tonya was the only one from the Safe Space booth to dress-up. So festive she is :)! Safe Space tossed many ideas around before deciding on the dream catchers. The supplies were not the most difficult part, that award was left for remembering how to make the dream catchers! But once Carolyn, Bridget, Jori and Anita had the hang of it there was no problem helping the children. The children ranged from 4 to 14 years old, all were amazingly fast learners, and had a good time doing it!<br /><br />So concludes another quick update from Safe Space.<br /><br />Anita Pollock<br

Assault: Never The Victim’s Fault<p align="left"> <span style="font-family:times new roman;"> It has been said that a society is ultimately judged by its crimes, and perhaps rape is the crime by which our society will be evaluated. The definition of sexual assault as provided by Brown University is as follows: “Sexual assault is the legal term for rape, and it also encompasses other behaviours beyond forced sexual intercourse. Sexual assault can be any unwanted sexual contact, such as unwanted touching, fondling, or groping of sexual body parts. It can be committed by the use of threats or force or when someone takes advantage of circumstances that render a person incapable of giving consent, such as intoxication.” The statistics regarding sexual assault in the United States are astounding. According to RAINN (the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network – www.rainn.org), a woman is sexually assaulted every two and a half minutes. Further, they claim that one in every six American women is a victim of sexual assault. Finally, they state that 44% of sexual assault victims are under the age of 18. This is clearly an unacceptable state of affairs.<br /><br /> But these numbers are not the ones I want to discuss in this article. Sexual assault is a peculiar crime in that it is a crime which victims are hesitant to prosecute. RAINN suggests that half the sexual assaults committed are never reported to police. This severely restricts the means that our justice system can take action against the perpetrator. One never hears about a convenience store clerk who decides not to prosecute a robber or a victim of a carjacking declining to press charges, but somehow sexual assault seems to be a special crime.<br /><br /> The question on the tips of your tongues, no doubt, is: “Why is sexual assault so underreported?” One of the primary reasons sexual assault is underreported is that victims are afraid they will not be believed. One common response to sexual assault charges is to doubt or blame the victim. Our society has a pervasive belief that women frequently lie about sexual assault. This is a myth. According to the F.B.I., only 5.5% of reported sexual assaults are determined to be unfounded (which includes cases in which the judge found that there was insufficient evidence to convict). Other reasons women give for not reporting sexual assaults include fear of reprisals, desire to avoid an intrusive and uncomfortable rape examination, and the belief that sexual activity is a personal matter.<br /><br /> These reasons reveal a deeper problem – mistrust and mistreatment of women in our society. It is considered valid to argue that if a woman wears a short skirt, she is inviting rape. This is a fallacy however. Do we tell jewellers that they were inviting robbery by displaying their jewels in their store windows? Do we tell victims of car-jacking that they invited a car-jacking by having nice cars? No we do not. All I am asking you is to extend to victims of sexual assault the same courtesy we extend to victims of other crimes.<br /><br /> April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (henceforth, SAAM). During SAAM I ask that you take a few moments out of your day to consider the plight of women who have been sexually assaulted. If you would like to learn more about sexual assault or are interested in living a violence-free lifestyle, I cordially invite you to join me and the rest of the Safe Space staff at our Take Back The Night Rally on May 4 at 6:00 PM on the courthouse steps. There we can let our voices be heard that violence in all forms is unacceptable and that to better our lives, we should be more peaceful.</span></p>Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31782503.post-84604982276939371342007-05-02T14:14:00.000-07:002007-05-02T14:19:31.605-07:00Sexual Assault Information<div align="center"><span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"><strong>A Few Statistics For Your Consideration</strong></span></div><br /><div align="left"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060075966439703362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii2gWDzinTbC0dB2wzqCJwcelXf2G5TRL026lQjRQMrJVbHStQmrq5CdgeGZ3Pl_mvNzktJoo3KxHOKNdmKHIxJWTbqndqkZFSd93hD_0mPpstslNUt-NhCZYmsOXGMvFt4BeI1w/s320/Picture1.gif" border="0" /><br /><strong>Key Facts</strong><br />· Every two and a half minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.<br />· One in six American women are victims of sexual assault, and one in 33 men.<br />· In 2004-2005, there were an average annual 200,780 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.<br />· About 44% of rape victims are under age 18, and 80% are under age 30.<br />· Since 1993, rape/sexual assault has fallen by over 69%<br /><br /><strong>What should I do if I am sexually assaulted?</strong><br />· Find a safe environment - anywhere away from the attacker.

Others believe that the first rally occurred in 1976 when women attending the International Tribunal on Crimes Against Women lit candles and took to the moonlit streets of Belgium to denounce the continuation of violence against women. While the origins of Take Back the Night may be disputed, its impact is undeniable. Since its inception, thousands of marches and rallies bearing the name Take Back the Night have taken place worldwide. The hope of Take Back the Night made its way stateside in 1978 when protesters in San Francisco invoked the slogan following an anti-pornography conference. On that night, those who had been adversely affected by pornography openly shared their stories with those who had gathered. Today, survivor speak outs are an inseparable part of Take Back the Night. Most present-day rallies offer survivors of violence an opportunity to give voice to their experiences and publicly affirm their transition from victim to survivor.<br /><br /> Common components of Take Back the Night rallies include candlelight vigils, empowerment marches, and survivor testimonials. The goals and specific features of a TBTN rally are just as varied as its vast array of supporters. Throughout its history, Take Back the Night has inspired both women and men to confront a myriad of social ills, including rape, sexual violence, domestic violence, violence against children, and violence against women. The unifying theme throughout these diverse topics is the assertion that all human beings have the right to be free from violence, the right to be heard, and the right to reclaim those rights if they are violated.</p>Safe Space Butte Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01739190437285039240noreply@blogger.com0
