Expressing support for the designation of September 2025 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Key Points

• This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially name September 2025 as a month for campus sexual assault awareness. It aims to highlight the safety risks students face when they start or return to college.
• The document shares data showing that more than half of college sexual assaults happen in the first few months of the school year. It also notes that freshmen and sophomores are at a higher risk than older students.
• It points out that many colleges struggle to handle these cases correctly. For example, some schools do not have clear rules for working with local police or do not provide enough training for their staff.
• The resolution also mentions that very few survivors report these crimes to the authorities. It notes that less than 7 percent of reported cases lead to criminal charges against the person responsible.
