How to Raise Sexual Assault Awareness Year Round

By Jodie Bergeron, Cohen & Malad LLP

April has been designated as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a campaign to raise public awareness about sexual assault and to promote prevention and education for sexual violence and abuse. But sexual violence doesn’t last for only a month, and neither should our awareness and our efforts to prevent it. 

Here are a few links provided by the CDC with resources and information on sexual violence prevention.
