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.
