April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month. Bringing light to these often hidden crimes is vital to the just treatment of people who are often abused in private. Often times friends, family and even the justice system itself ignores and excuses this behavior as personal. Sexual assault and child abuse truly affects each of us and it is passed on from generation to generation.
To bring awareness to these problems, each police officer and civilian employee will wear a purple ribbon during the month of April to show solidarity with the victims of sexual assault and child abuse.
If you would like to spread awareness and wear a ribbon, pick one up at the Eureka Police Department, 604 C street.
