October was the Red Flag Campaign at Virginia Tech, and the month saw numerous activities that brrought awareness to relationship and dating violence on campus. The Clothesline Project, coordinated by Montgomery County NOW with help from Womanspace, gave survivors a voice to express how violence and abuse has affected their lives. Wear Red Day, sponsored by SAVES, reminded people to look for red flags of relationship violence. Over 20 groups showed they will say something when they see relationship red flags by participating in the RFC Group Photo Project. Thanks to those who participated in October events, and we encourage everyone to say something all year long!
