We Can Stop Rape.

April 13, 2007 – 9:05 am |

April is Sexual Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. 

Help spread the word and help protect our children from violence.

• Less than 20% (probably far less) actually even report sexual assault. 
• 1 in 5 boys and 1 in 4 girls will have an experience involving sexual assault before the age of 18.
• Even though apparently false reports generate a whole lot of media attention - it is estimated that of reported rapes, less than 3 of every 1000 are false.

We can get involved too.

Protect our children. 
Teach them about safety. 
Challenge our societal perceptions of masculinity.

Plus, any gift you make to RAINN this month will be matched DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.   

Finally, in the focus on prevention,  let’s not forget to encourage and support survivors.
