National Crime Victims' Right Week is April 24-30th - This year, the Department of Justice’s Office for Victims of Crime (OVC)’s official NCVRW theme is Rights, Access, Equity for all Victims.
27 APRIL - Denim Day ~ Be one of the millions of people across the world as they wear jeans with a purpose, support survivors, and educate themselves and others about all forms of sexual violence. Pledge to make a social statement with your fashion statement and wear denim on April 27th.
Why is this month so important? Globally, 1 in 3 women worldwide has been subjected to either physical or sexual violence in her lifetime. In the U.S., someone is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds. Clearly, we need to increase awareness and action to address this sexual violence that one in three women and one in six men experience in their lifetimes.
This year, we are focused on ending sexual violence everywhere—including our online spaces—because harassment, assault, and abuse can happen anywhere. As our lives and business are increasingly conducted online, it’s important to know how to practice digital consent, intervene when we see harmful content or behaviors, and ensure that online spaces—whether they be workspaces, classrooms, social media platforms, or otherwise—are respectful and safe. If you would like more information on a conversation guide for Parents & Caregivers, “Talking Healthy Relationship” @ nomore.org, guides are available to use for when starting conversations about healthy relationship.
Thank you for all you do!
