ROSEBURG, Ore. — A community awareness event focused on child abuse prevention and support for survivors is planned in Roseburg this week.
According to a flyer being shared locally, “Stand Up for Children” will be held Saturday, April 11, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. on the sidewalk by Fred Meyer. The event is being promoted as part of April’s recognition of Child Abuse Awareness Month and Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Organizers are encouraging people to attend with their children, bring snacks and signs, and wear blue or teal to show support for survivors. The flyer says the goal is to help raise awareness against child sexual assault and send a message of support for children and families affected by abuse.
The event is sponsored by the Douglas County Human Trafficking Task Force, according to the flyer.
Community awareness events held during April often aim to promote prevention, support survivors, and encourage public conversations about child safety and advocacy. Saturday’s event in Roseburg appears intended to give local residents a visible way to stand in support of that message.
