Erica Thurman, YWCA Stepping Stones director, realizes there is a lot of work to do to educate the community on sexual assault.

Thurman said the programs that are available through stepping stones will help educate and empower the victim and the victims family. In addition, there are many components that will help empower women in fighting against the issue of sexual abuse.

Thurman said that education is empowerment for most people and the YWCA is happy to provide a place to come and learn.
