The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Moore urges the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to study the feasibility of establishing a 233 helpline specifically for victims of sexual abuse. This initiative is prompted by alarming statistics from the Louisiana Study on Violence Experiences Across the Lifespan (LaVEX), which revealed that a significant percentage of adults in Louisiana have experienced sexual violence or harassment. The resolution highlights the need for additional resources to support survivors, particularly given that many do not report their experiences to authorities.

The resolution calls for the DCFS to conduct research and submit a written report by February 1, 2025, detailing the feasibility of the helpline, potential funding sources, and costs associated with a marketing campaign to raise awareness about the initiative. It emphasizes the importance of expanding support services for sexual abuse victims in Louisiana, building on existing resources provided by organizations dedicated to addressing sexual abuse concerns in the state.
