We have a difficult, but very necessary conversation to share. Did you know that every 68 seconds in the United States someone is sexually assaulted? That’s nearly a-half million people every year – our neighbors, our friends, our loved ones. So what’s driving these numbers? Why do so many survivors still struggle to be heard, believed, and supported? And why do so many perpetrators avoid meaningful consequences? April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. We’re joined by advocates and survivors to talk about the realities behind the statistics, the resources available, and what real accountability should look like.
