‘You Will Save a Life’: Edmonton Sexual Assault Centre Launches Campaign to Support Survivors
The campaign seeks donations and public education as SACE says demand for counselling, crisis support and prevention services is outpacing resources.
- On Monday, May 4, 2026, the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton launched the 'Out in the Open' campaign to address growing demand for survivor support services during Sexual Violence Awareness Month.
- Nearly half of all Albertans will experience sexual violence in their lifetime, creating a significant gap between survivors seeking support and available resources to respond.
- Hundreds of plush teddy bears adorned with teal ribbons represent survivors waiting for specialized support, bringing the issue of sexual violence into public view.
- Co-CEO Lena Betker said, "This campaign is about making the invisible visible," emphasizing that action and prevention are central to ending sexual violence.
- Community members can support the campaign throughout May by buying or sponsoring a bear, donating directly to SACE, or sharing the message on social media.
