The Senate Resolution recognizes April 2025 as "Sexual Assault Awareness Month" in Pennsylvania, marking the 24th anniversary of this designation. It highlights the widespread nature of sexual violence, noting that one in five women and one in 71 men in the U.S. have experienced rape, with a significant percentage of individuals reporting sexual harassment and assault throughout their lives. The resolution emphasizes the need for community support for survivors, the importance of believing their stories, and the role of individuals in challenging harmful behaviors and attitudes.

Additionally, the resolution aligns with this year's theme, "Together We Act, United We Change," which underscores the collective effort required to address and prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. It also commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Pennsylvania Coalition to Advance Respect (PCAR), which advocates for the rights and needs of sexual assault victims across the state. The Senate calls for empowerment of survivors and collaboration with communities to work towards ending sexual violence in Pennsylvania.
