Designating February 27, 2025, Sexual Violence Awareness Day

This Senate Resolution (SR 15) designates February 27, 2025, as Sexual Violence Awareness Day at the West Virginia Legislature. It does not create new laws or allocate funds; instead, it formally recognizes the issue through a symbolic resolution. The resolution directs the Clerk to send a copy to the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information and Services, which has provided crisis support and prevention services for 45 years. It affects the Legislature by establishing a designated awareness day and acknowledges the state's high rates of sexual violence (ranked 5th nationally for lifetime contact sexual violence).
