The Utah Women & Leadership Project hosted a panel of people who work in various areas to stop violence against women and children on Feb.17.
According to the panel, nearly one in two women will experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. This rate is also true for Utah.
Liliana Olvera-Arbon works with the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
“In order for us to create compassionate communities, with respect, equity and justice, one should do our work thinking of that person or child who is valued the least,” she said.
The panel also addressed recent data from the CDC, which states that 11.3% of high school girls in Utah report being raped before they graduate. This is higher than the reported national average. For sexual assault, 21.2% of girls in Utah have reported being sexually assaulted in the last 12 months.

As Minnesota s bars and restaurants welcome customers back inside for the first time since November, some are considering long-term changes to help them survive the pandemic.
Roma Restaurant and Roman Market in Willernie is undergoing a major transformation, turning its former banquet hall into a deli and specialty grocery store. Without any catering bookings and with so many restrictions on large groups gathering, there s no potential for us to make enough revenue to survive in this building for the rest of this year without doing something drastically different, said general manager Brian Pilrain.
Pilrain said his business, located in Washington County for the past 15 years, decided to invest $100,000 into plans that will help sustain them through the pandemic and beyond.
