April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month
"Sexual assault takes many forms—it is any unwanted sexual contact, including rape, attempted rape, and child sexual abuse. It can affect people of any gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or ability.

According to the National Violence Against Women Survey, 1 in 6 American women has been the victim of rape or attempted rape.

For more information, visit the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women at www.ovw.usdoj.gov."
