Baptist Health Hardin invites the community to take a stand against sexual assault during a special event Friday evening.
In observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Baptist Health Hardin Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner/Forensic Program is hosting the Shine Light on Sexual Assault Awareness Walk, a community walk to raise awareness and show support for survivors.
The walk will be held April 17 at the Healing Garden outside the Baptist Health Hardin Medical Pavilion, located at 200 Cardinal Drive in Elizabethtown. The event will begin with a welcome and opening remarks at 7:20 p.m., with the walk running from 7:30 to 9:30. The event is free and no registration is required.
Participants can choose to walk two laps, representing the two in five women in Kentucky affected by sexual violence, or five laps, representing the one in five women in the United States who have experienced completed or attempted rape during their lifetime. Glow sticks will be provided, and participants are encouraged to wear or bring other glowing items to help “shine light” on sexual violence.
Contact the Baptist Health Hardin SANE/Forensic office at 270-979-7233 for more information.
