The resolution introduced on February 26, 2025, designates February 27, 2025, as Sexual Violence Awareness Day at the Legislature. It highlights the significant public health issue of sexual violence, particularly in West Virginia, which ranks 5th in the nation for lifetime prevalence of contact sexual violence, affecting nearly two-thirds of female residents. The resolution also notes that forcible sex offenses are the leading cause of incarceration in the state's prisons, resulting in substantial financial costs for the state.

Additionally, the resolution acknowledges the efforts of West Virginia's 12 regional rape crisis centers and the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information and Services, which have been providing crisis services and prevention initiatives for nearly 45 years. The Senate's resolution aims to raise awareness about sexual violence and its impact on individuals and communities, and it directs the Clerk to send a copy of the resolution to the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information and Services.
