📱 Did you know? 1 in 5 children who touch a digital device will be sexually solicited online.

We walked together. We stood together. We wore TEAL 💙

Our community came together for the Teal Walk in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Survivors, residents, law enforcement, and community partners walked side by side from the West Palm Beach Police Department to the Governmental Center—showing unity, strength, and support.

Following the walk, the Board of County Commissioners officially proclaimed April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped raise awareness.

Palm Beach County don’t forget to wear your Denim on April 29th! 🩵👖

SAVE THE DATE: APRIL 29TH, JOIN US FOR DENIM DAY!

Denim Day originated in Italy in 1992 when a r**e case was overturned by the Italian Supreme Court because the victim was wearing tight jeans. Women protested by wearing jeans on the Supreme Court steps. On Demim Day, we wear denim to show solidarity with survivors, as a symbolic reminder that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault, no matter what they were wearing.
