April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Not that you need any reminding about the sexual assault edpidemic in the US...but here are some stats anyway:

1 in 6 US women and 1 in 33 U.S. men has experienced an attempted or completed rape at some time in their lives.

More than half of all rapes of females occur before age 18; of those, 22% occur before age 12.

Between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 college women experience completed or attempted rape during their college years.

Fewer than half of all rapes and sexual assaults are reported to the police.

For more information on Sexual Assault Awareness Month, check out RAINN and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. Click here for a calendar of events.
