The proclamation highlights alarming national statistics, noting that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. This underscores the importance of community involvement in fostering a culture of respect and safety. The committee recognized the vital role of local organizations, such as HAWK and the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, which provide essential services and advocacy for survivors.
In addition to the proclamation, the committee discussed plans to engage the community through educational programs and initiatives aimed at ending sexual violence. Members expressed their commitment to supporting survivors and encouraged residents to participate in awareness activities throughout the month.
The committee also plans to include information about the proclamation in their newsletter, providing resources and links for those seeking help. This proactive approach aims to ensure that individuals affected by sexual violence have easy access to support services.
As the Marblehead School Committee moves forward with these initiatives, the community is encouraged to join in the efforts to create a safer environment for all.
