Expressing support for the designation of September 2023 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

HRES 727 is a non-binding resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating September 2023 as National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness about campus sexual assault issues. The resolution cites statistics showing college students face heightened risk during the academic year's start (with over 50% of assaults occurring Aug-Nov), barriers to reporting, and gaps in institutional responses like confidential reporting and staff training. This designation seeks to highlight these challenges during a critical period for student safety, without altering existing policies or programs.
