April 2006 Press Release THE WROAR RIDE - WOMEN RIDE OUT AGAINST RAPE
WROAR is an all-women's motorcycle ride to raise awareness about violence against women, and to raise funds for the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape. The Toronto Rape Crisis Centre has a 32-year history of community-based, volunteer help for those who have suffered sexual violence. The centre provides 24-hour confidential crisis counseling, as well as educational programs and other services. The image of a woman on her motorcycle conveys an impression of freedom, independence and strength that many women value, even those who don't ride. Such an image provides a startling contrast to the loss of control, fear and helplessness associated with sexual violence. Last year's first-ever WROAR ride raised more than $8,500. We'd like to double that amount this year. We're looking for sponsors and female motorcyclists to participate in the event. Please mark the date - June 11 - in your diary. More details later.
