Saline County commissioners approve expenditures and contracts
Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Sheila Beeson, a sexual assault advocate with DVACK, requested the board to approve a proclamation to recognize April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Beeson presented sexual violence as a widespread public health problem and defined it as any sexual act that is perpetrated against someone’s will, in which the victim does not give or is unable to give consent.
She added that one incident of rape is reported to Kansas law enforcement every seven hours and that 80 percent of cases involve familiarity between the victim and the perpetrator.
