2024 Crucial Point Award Recipients

We’re excited to announce the second class of GOTU’s Crucial Point Award Recipients. The 2024 class consists of great people who are being recognized for their outstanding grassroots efforts in advancing the fight against sexual assault and abuse all while increasing the visibility of survivors.  

The GOTU Crucial Point Award is an annual award given to people and organizations that delve beyond the surface of sex crimes to focus on overlooked niches of survivorship. They then bring these specific topics to mainstream platforms to increase public awareness and effectively drive social change. Winners of this award demonstrate a clear understanding of the specific needs of the sexual assault and abuse survivorship community and help implement real solutions.

The 2024 recipients were part of a large group of candidates who were identified by the GOTU team and reviewed against the following criteria: platform, consistency, social impact, longevity of results and community connection. Per the results of this review, we are pleased to announce the 2024 GOTU Crucial Point Award recipients:

Jeremy Indika - Youth Empowerment & Perception Erasure - Learn More

Public Speaker, Educator

Mel Jane - Community Safety & Educational Transformation - Learn More

We’re very proud to recognize this group. Read about them in this weeks blog posts. You’ll learn more about their contributions to the sexual assault survivorship community along with ways to potentially support their efforts.

Please join us in congratulating this year’s recipients!
