This April marks Sexual Assault Awareness month, a time when survivors and advocacy groups work to raise awareness surrounding the pervasive issue of sexual violence, as well as educate the public about ways to prevent it.
“We know that one month isn’t enough to solve the serious and widespread issue of sexual violence,” Laura Palumbo of the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) said in a statement, adding that the annual event serves as “a reminder that we can change the culture through the things we say and do each day.”
“It can be as simple as calling out comments that blame victims for being assaulted or make light of sexual violence,” Palumbo said.
