The Senate passed this resolution recognizing April 2025 as National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. It highlights sobering statistics: 2 in 5 women and 1 in 4 men experience sexual or physical violence from an intimate partner, and over 546,000 children were confirmed victims of sexual abuse or neglect in 2023. The resolution also notes that sexual assault costs an average of $122,461 per victim over their lifetime — a $3.1 trillion burden nationwide. It commends the work of rape crisis centers, victim service organizations like RAINN, and the military's Safe Helpline, while encouraging continued prevention and education efforts.
