April is the month that is set aside as National Sexual Assault Prevention Month. My question to you is what are you doing to help prevent sexual assaults? The statistics are staggering: in 2006, almost 250,000 victims of sexual assault - that means there's a sexual assault every 1-2 minutes. Over 60% of sexual assaults are never reported - either because of fear, embarrassment or whatever the reason. The saddest of all these statistics is that only 6% of rapists that are caught and prosecuted will ever spend one day in jail. (These statistics were taken from www.RAINN.org 's website).
I hope these statistics stir something within you as they did me and that we will work together to do all we can to stop this ever growing violation against men, women, and children.
