Sexual
violence has emotionally and physically scarred the
lives of millions of people in the U.S.—of all ages,
economic groups and races. And, it's not just the
primary victims of this crime who are affected, but the
secondary victims as well (spouses, children, parents
and friends). Since 2001, April has been declared
National Sexual Assault Awareness Month in order to
increase awareness about this issue, encourage
prevention
initiatives and
increase knowledge of what services are available to aid
survivors. This week, Crime Prevention Specialist Susan
Bartelstone interviews Lauren Sogor, from the National
Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), the nation’s
principal resource center for activism on all aspects of
sexual violence throughout the month (and the rest of
the year as well). If you’d like to find out how you can
make a difference this April (it’s never too late!) or
what activities are going on in your local area, don’t
miss this show.
