April in the Downtown New Bern Sculpture Park located at the corner of Broad and Middle Street

​For the 20th Anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Promise Place and the Craven Arts Council will display a set of life size sculptures in downtown New Bern. The sculptures will be painted the awareness color teal, and represent survivor stories of sexual assault. The teal silhouettes represent the one in four girls and one in thirteen boys whom are sexually abused throughout the US. According to the CDC, sexual violence affects millions of people each year in the United States. The official numbers are likely an underestimate because many cases go unreported. Sexual violence impacts health in many ways and can lead to short and long term mental and physical problems. This is why the CDC focuses on preventing sexual violence before it happens. Changing social norms, teaching skills, empowering girls and women, and creating protective environments can help reduce sexual violence. Stop by the Downtown New Bern Sculpture Park located on the corner of Broad Street and Middle Street and check out this powerful installation. 

Please visit promiseplacenewbern.org for more information. Promise Place serves men, women, children, and families affected by sexual violence, victims of trauma, or anyone who has been a victim of a crime.
