Her speech not only captivated the audience but also highlighted the vital work SafeBAE is doing to educate and empower young people on issues of consent, sexual violence prevention, and healthy relationships.
Sydney’s Impact at NOVA Advocacy
Sydney’s presentation was a powerful reminder of the importance of youth voices in the fight against sexual violence.
