Worldwide Sexual Assault Awarness Month Virtual Walk

From the age of three years old, R.O.S.A’s founder, Tona Buck, knows firsthand as a sexual assault survivor that breaking the silence is the first step from victim to becoming the victor. When she finally had the courage to tell her mother about the abuse, her mother’s response was “I wish you would have told me.” Her response to her mother was “I didn’t know what to tell.” Tragically, not knowing how or what to tell is one of the main reasons child victims don’t report their abuse. 96% of victimized children are assaulted by someone they know or trust. Even into adulthood they keep their abuse a secret.
