RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING APRIL 2014 AS
SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
WHEREAS, Sexual Assault Awareness Month calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is

in 5 adult women and 1 in 71 adult men will be raped at some point in their lives; and

1 in 3 girls will experience some form of sexual violence before they reach the age of 18; and
WHEREAS, young people experience heightened rates of sexual violence, and youth ages 12-17 were
2.5 times as likely to be victims of rape or other forms of sexual violence; and
WHEREAS, we must work together to educate our community about sexual violence prevention,
supporting survivors, and speaking out against harmful attitudes and actions; and
WHEREAS, with leadership and dedication, we can be successful in preventing sexual violence in
Butte County by increasing education, awareness, and community involvement; and
WHEREAS, for the past 40 years Rape Crisis Intervention&Prevention has led the way in Butte
County in addressing sexual violence by providing free 24-hour hotline services to victims/survivors and their
significant others; responding to emergency calls; offering ongoing support and comfort to those impacted by
sexual violence during medical exams, criminal proceedings; and empowering those impacted by sexual
violence to chart their own course for healing; and
