Saline County Proclaims April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month

The Saline County Board of Commissioners has declared April 2024 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The proclamation highlights the prevalence of sexual violence as a preventable public health issue in Kansas. Statistics reveal unnerving rates of sexual violence affecting both women and men, with incidents often going unreported. The proclamation emphasizes the importance of supporting victims and provides information about the services offered by the Domestic Violence Association of Central Kansas (DVACK), including their 24/7 hotline for free and confidential support.
