Anny Jacoby Invited to Participate in Local Community Initiative to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse

November 15, 2010

Anny Jacoby will be participating in the local Chapel Hill, NC initiative for the prevention of child sexual abuse.   Invited by the  Executive Director of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro YMCA from a list of local leaders, Jacoby will be participating to initiate the Darkness to Light Stewards of Children child sexual abuse prevention program and Prevent Now! model, a combined community effort which will assist  in promoting a sustainable and accountable prevention initiative, which will help  better protect all children in the community.

According to leaders from the YMCA:

“One of the most proactive and pragmatic approaches to diminishing child sexual abuse is the education of responsible adults. Imagine a community where adults are actively working together to change a cultural norm – from one where child sexual abuse is shrouded in fear and denial and children are easy targets, to one where every child is better protected throughout the community. Now is the time for our community to be intentional and steadfast in our protective behaviors so that all children can grow up healthy and whole.”

The luncheon is scheduled for Tuesday, November 16, 2010 from 12:00 to 2:00 at Amity United Methodist Church which is located at825 N. Estes Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27156.

Past participants of Prevent Now! meetings have found it to be an incredibly valuable experience.

Anny Jacoby is an outspoken advocate for child safety, focusing on prevention by personal safety training through both Project Safe Girls and The Realistic Female Self-Defense Company, where she offers training to females of all ages.  Jacoby strongly feels education and awareness should be taught early and expanded through the community through organizations, schools and families.
