Take Back the Night Tucson provided the community with resources for survivors of sexual abuse and brought together different organizations that help survivors.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Imelda Esquer stood behind a table representing the YWCA on Thursday at Pima Community College.
“We internalize the guilt, because of society, because we are afraid to open up, because we are afraid to speak,” Esquer said. At the event, pants painted by survivors with messages like “Hands off” hung on a bench while shirts with messages like “Stop the abuse” hung on a clothes line. “I meet survivors everywhere and there’s a fellowship of that that really helps with healing,” she said.
