Sexual Assault Awareness Month, observed each April, is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about sexual violence, its causes, and risk factors. It aims to educate communities, promote prevention strategies, and empower individuals to take action in creating safer environments.
- In San Diego, an average of three women are raped each day.
- One in three women will experience sexual assault in her lifetime.
- 91% of rape and sexual assault victims are women.
- In 80% of rape cases, the victim knows the perpetrator.
- Rape is the most underreported crime—63% of sexual assaults go unreported to law enforcement.
NotMeSD is contributing to Sexual Assault Awareness Month this April by offering a series of training classes designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to enhance personal safety and reduce the risk of victimization. These classes include:
- Pepper Spray & Situational Awareness Month
- NotMeSD Shooting Social
- Women’s Firearms Safety & Responsible Ownership
