THE WROAR RIDE - WOMEN RIDE OUT 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.
