It is important to remove barriers to sexual violence prevention, such as the lies and hysteria promoted by politicians and the media to create the failed sex offender registry, and other innefective retributive justice laws against former offenders. WIth out reform of these laws, resources will continue to be divereted, and effective prevention measures will hardly be given a chance. This is the GREATEST challenge for sexual violence prevention today!

Thanks for caring enough to comment about this grave matter.
i am trying to find handouts to give to our patients for the national sexual violence awareness month this april. if anyone can either point me in the right direction or offer help i would greatly appreciate it. i am a community health rep and my job is to educate the community and promote awareness. native american women are sexually assaulted twice as much as any other race, as i live on a reservation, april is an extremely important awareness month that i would like to promote to my community. thank you for your help.
Bonny,
I recommend starting at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center – they have endless information with a lot of printable handouts and fact sheets. http://www.nsvrc.org/ I am not sure how much is culturally specific to the American Indian population, but a great place to learn more information and get connected.
We do have a variety of tools related to sexual assault awareness month resources http://www.nsvrc.org/saam and native american communities. Please email us or call 877-739-3895 for specific information.
