Big Country Anti Violence Association marks Prevention of Domestic Violence Month with Red Silhouette Campaign

    On November 18 until November 22 the Big Country Anti Violence Association (BCAVA) will be holding the Annual Red Silhouette Campaign at the Badlands Community Facility.   
On display at the Facility will be life size red silhouettes which are representative of individuals who have lost their lives or have been affected by domestic violence.
    The Red Silhouette Campaign is designed to  send a message to victims that they are not alone and is also referred to as the silent witness project  as they provide a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves because they lost their lives   to domestic violence and also bear witness to those who are still in abusive relationships that they are  not being forgotten.
    The objectives of this initiative are to create an awareness of domestic violence by sharing information in our communities about the nature   and extent of relationship violence, to promote  action by letting people know there are resources in our communities with people willing to help and to remember people by honoring those who have lost their lives to domestic violence.
    Violence takes on many faces including verbal, physical, sexual, spiritual, emotional and financial abuse. Bullying is a form of abuse that has recently been in the forefront of the news. BCAVA wants to help give a voice to everyone who has been a victim of or is presently being affected by some form of violence.
    The red silhouettes will be on display for the week of November 18-22 and BCAVA would like to invite people to visit. This event brings Domestic Violence to the forefront as we work to empower everyone to help stop violence and support survivors.
    BCAVA looks forward to the spring of 2014 when the unveiling of the Angel’s Corner which will be a permanent location recognizing those who have been impacted by domestic violence. We can all work together to end the silence and stop the violence. If you require additional information please feel free to contact Cindy Stelmaschuk at 403-823-3095 or Cora Bolt at 403-823-1660 or go to www.bcava.com.
