Council adopts resolution recognizing April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Summary
Lititz Borough Council adopted Resolution 10 27 recognizing April 2026 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month after a brief presentation by the YWCA Lancaster and a unanimous voice vote.
Jo, a counselor and educator with YWCA Lancaster's assault prevention and counseling center, described local awareness events and services and asked the council to recognize April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
Jo outlined events including a children’s book reading at the Lititz Public Library on April 6 and an open‑mic community night in Lancaster City on April 3, and described services offered by YWCA Lancaster: a 24‑hour hotline, no‑cost counseling and therapy for survivors and their significant others, legal and medical advocacy, and prevention programming for schools and businesses.
Following the presentation, the council considered resolution 10 27, moved to approve it and seconded the motion. The council adopted the resolution by voice vote.
The resolution is a formal recognition to raise awareness and publicize local services; no additional borough funding or program change was announced at the meeting.
