Proclamation 9717

National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, 2018

This proclamation designates April 2018 as National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, calling attention to sexual violence and urging Americans to support survivors and prevent such crimes. It references the Department of Justice's new Sexual Assault Victim Intervention Services Technical Assistance Center (SAVIS TAC) as a resource for training service providers, but does not create new programs, allocate funds, or direct specific agency actions beyond general encouragement.
