The resolution commemorates April 2025 as "Child Sexual Assault Awareness Month" in the State of Rhode Island. It aims to raise awareness about the prevalence of child sexual abuse, which is a significant public health issue that can manifest in various forms, including non-contact abuse. The resolution highlights alarming statistics, such as one in ten children in the U.S. experiencing physical or sexual abuse, and emphasizes the need for community education and prevention efforts. It also notes the psychological impact of prolonged abuse on children, including low self-esteem and mistrust of adults.

The resolution calls upon all Rhode Islanders to engage in advocacy, training, and educational programs to help prevent and eliminate child sexual assault and violence in their communities. It directs the Secretary of State to transmit certified copies of the resolution to relevant state departments, reinforcing the commitment to addressing this critical issue and ensuring the safety and well-being of children.

Introduced by Representatives Roberts, Nardone, Chippendale, Santucci, and Hopkins on April 08, the resolution has been read and passed in the House.
