Thanks to its volunteers and supporters, Safe Space of Butte succeeded in its efforts to make the community aware of sexual assault and domestic violence dangers and prevention efforts.
“Break the Silence – Stop the Violence” was the theme for this year’s Take Back the Night event. Activities began at 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 30th, at the grand opening of the new location of Suited for Success, a Safe Space clothing assistance program. Located at 27 W. Park in Uptown Butte, Suited for Success provides professional and work-appropriate clothing free of charge to applicants who qualify. Betty’s Basement, at the same location, is Butte’s newest clothing thrift store. Also operated by Safe Space, the thrift store offers clothing and accessories for men, women, and children alike. All donations support Safe Space.
There is an old saying: "You can't really understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes." Immediately following the grand opening, all the men and their families came to show their support for victims of domestic and sexual violence - and women at risk of becoming victims – by literally walking in women's high-heeled shoes from the new store to the Butte-Silver Bow County Courthouse. According to organizers, “It's not easy walking in these shoes, but it's fun and it gets the community to talk about something that's really difficult to talk about: gender relations and sexual violence.”
Following the walk, the traditional Take Back the Night program began at 5:30 p.m. on the steps of the Courthouse. As in years past, Chief Executive Paul Babb and Safe Space Police Officer of the Year Dan Murphy will address Butte’s commitment to end sexual violence.
