Why Educate our Community?
Because the following statistics are staggering. Educating adults and youth to prevent the spread of violence and break the cycle of abuse is critical.

19%
In the U.S., 19% of teens experience sexual or physical dating violence, and as many as 65% report being psychologically abused.*1

51%
In a nationally representative study of young people ages 14 to 21, 51% of females and 43% of males reported being victims of at least one type of dating violence.*2
LGBTQ+ = Higher Risk
Those who identify as Native North American or Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and those who identify as LGBTQ+ experience higher rates of dating violence.*3

Increased Risk of Suicide
In an analysis of nearly 10,000 teens from the UK’s Millennium Cohort Study, teens who experienced sexual violence between ages 14 and 17 had worse mental health at 17.

81%
In the United States, 81% of women and 43% of men have experienced sexual harassment or assault in their lifetime. (National Sexual Violence Resource Center)
