In the United States, sexual assault remains a significant concern, affecting 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men. April, recognized as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, is dedicated to addressing this issue. The initiative aims to end sexual violence through heightened awareness, educational programs, and supporting survivors. Advocates emphasize that sexual violence is preventable, and collective efforts can contribute to creating a safer, more protected world for everyone.
