April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a time dedicated to shedding light on an issue present in our society and community. Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. This month, communities across the globe unite to raise awareness, support survivors, and advocate for change.
Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without consent. Sexual assault encompasses a broad spectrum of behaviors ranging from verbal harassment to non-consensual physical contact or rape.
