>> [ANCHOR]: A time of awareness and healing for survivors of violence in Henrietta. The
Rochester Institute of Technology hosted "You Are Not Alone: Voices of Survivors of Violence."
The United Nations estimates one in three women will be abused in their life times.
Event organizers say the showcase is aimed at raising awareness of the issue, while providing
a format for healing for victims.
>> [LORI NOLASCO]: It just takes away your voice and it takes away your will to live.
I just fought, because I knew someday my children would see the survivor and not only the survivor,
but as one of the participants in the show said, the thriver.
>> [RAUNICE RYAN]: I do this show because I'm a survivor myself. And I understand the
importance of being able to voice what for some people they have not been able to put
into words they are able to through art work, through other modes of expression. So, I want
to give them a safe place to do that.
>> [ANCHOR]: Speakers and panel discussions were also part of the day-long event at RIT.
