The resolution 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. It highlights alarming statistics from the Louisiana Study on Violence Experiences Across the Lifespan (LaVEX), which indicate that a significant portion of adults in Louisiana have experienced sexual violence or harassment, with many incidents going unreported. The resolution acknowledges the existing support services provided by organizations like the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault and emphasizes the potential benefits of expanding resources for survivors through a dedicated helpline.

Furthermore, the resolution mandates that the DCFS submit a written report by February 1, 2025, detailing the findings of their study, including potential funding sources and costs associated with a marketing campaign to promote the helpline. This initiative aims to enhance support for individuals facing sexual abuse in Louisiana, ensuring they have access to necessary resources and assistance. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the secretary of the DCFS to facilitate this request.
