WHEREAS: the effects of sexual assault go far beyond the physical and victims often
develop a number of psychological conditions, such as post traumatic stress
disorder and depression effecting families, friends and Texas communities,
spurring fear, anger and a sense of vulnerability; and,
WHEREAS: few survivors of sexual violence seek help immediately after victimization due
to shame or the fear of not being believed. To end sexual assault, we must
alleviate these fears and begin by believing; and,
WHEREAS: as members of a caring society, members of communities across the state of
Texas must unite to remove the stigma of rape and the Brazos Valley
community must continue the dialogue started by the Sexual Assault Resource
Center in their places of work, schools and homes; and,
WHEREAS: each year, the month of April provides an opportunity for the Sexual Assault
Resource Center and rape crisis centers across the state to- renew their
commitments to serve their communities. Educational efforts also intensify,
which ensures that Texans are aware of the sexual assault services available in
their area; and,
