A Survivor's Story: Kai
"Sexual assault is not high school drama!"
Those words powerfully stated during Kai Ruhl’s speech back in May. She represented SAFE at the “Empowering Through Collective Support: Bridging Gaps for Victims & Survivors” event in honour of #VictimsWeek.
Her words resonated deeply, emphasizing the serious impact of sexual assault, THEN, and they continue to serve as a reminder to others that in Canada, the Criminal Code defines Sexual Assault as:
“Any unwanted sexual act done by one person to another or sexual activity without one person's consent or voluntary agreement” (Department of Justice, 2010).”
Kai Ruhl is a survivor who began volunteering with SAFE in August 2023 and became an honoured member in December 2023. Advocating for and supporting survivors of gender-based violence has been a passion for Kai for the past few years. As a survivor, Kai finds empowerment in helping others feel heard and less alone. By continuing to provide support and empowerment through SAFE, Kai hopes to make a difference in the lives of fellow survivors. Grateful for the opportunity to be a part of SAFE, Kai looks forward to participating in the organization's various initiatives for survivors.
SAFE takes great pride in having Kai as a key member of the SAFE Committee.
