March is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month

Christos House is observing Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month

“Freedom from sexual assault is a basic human right. Yet tens of millions of Americans - our family and friends, colleagues, neighbors, and classmates - carry the trauma of sexual assault with them. National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month is an important time to speak out, stand with courageous survivors, and finally change the culture that has allowed sexual violence to exist for far too long."
President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
