Help by Spreading the Word – RAPE IS A CRIME!

• If you know someone who is a victim/survivor of sexual assault, encourage him or her to seek support from the Rape Victim Advocacy Program or a similar agency if they are not in areas served by RVAP.
• Encourage your sisters, daughters and women friends to learn about reducing their risk of sexual assault through education.
• Lobby for laws and other legislation whose outcome will strengthen the effort to protect and educate our communities, support and strengthen victim's/survivor's rights and, put more responsibility (via stiffer consequences) on offenders.
