WHEREAS, sexual assault affects women, children and men of all racial, cultural and economic
backgrounds; and

associated consequences of post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse,
depression, homelessness, eating disorders and suicide; and
WHEREAS, sexual assault can be devastating not only to the survivor, but also for the family and
friends of the Survivor; and
WHEREAS, since no one person, organization, agency or community can eliminate sexual assault

done to prevent sexual assault, support victim, survivors and their significant others and
support those agencies providing services to the victims and survivors.
