(thoughtful instrumental music)

00:06.470 --> 00:09.061
- April is Sexual Assault
Awareness and Prevention Month,

00:09.061 --> 00:11.712
this brings an opportunity
to raise awareness

00:11.712 --> 00:13.920
about the realities of sexual assault

00:13.920 --> 00:15.453
in a positive environment.

00:17.560 --> 00:19.730
- The more awareness
we bring to this issue,

00:19.730 --> 00:22.870
the more we cultivate an
environment of understanding

00:22.870 --> 00:25.620
where sexual assault victims
receive the best care

00:25.620 --> 00:28.191
and support and where
we as a team take steps

00:28.191 --> 00:31.163
towards preventing future crimes.

00:33.510 --> 00:36.210
- It starts with a word,
or a snide comment,

00:36.210 --> 00:38.050
and it ends with a physical act

00:38.050 --> 00:40.300
that changes somebody's life forever.

00:40.300 --> 00:42.751
Your mission is to be
aware of your surroundings

00:42.751 --> 00:46.363
in order to prevent sexual assault.

00:49.930 --> 00:53.030
- This joint proclamation
shows our support and unity,

00:53.030 --> 00:55.011
that we as service leaders,
we must come together

00:55.011 --> 00:58.014
and show our military community
we take care of survivors

00:58.014 --> 00:59.875
and we are in the fight against those

00:59.875 --> 01:02.590
who would do harm to others.

01:02.590 --> 01:04.087
And to the victims remember this,

01:04.087 --> 01:08.554
we believe you, we care,
and you are not alone.

01:08.554 --> 01:11.887
