International Women's Day 2021

On March 8th, ABQ SANE is proud to celebrate survivors of sexual violence. While women are disproportionately affected by gender-based violence, their worth is NOT measured by their assault. Their story has only begun. And they are our heroes today on International Women's Day.

Read the profiles of several survivors of sexual violence below, and let their tenacity inspire you. In order, they are: Chanel Miller, Anita Hill, and Lorena Borjas.
