Your Voice Makes a Difference

According to the Department of Justice , Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient (who must be an adult). Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.

Lest we forget, there is no place and no relationship immune from  this madness. It happens in government. It happens in the military. It happens at church. It happens at school. It happens at home. How are you using your voice to make a difference in and stop sexual assault? Your voice makes a difference.
