The Pima County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is leading a new campaign in honor of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The issue of sexual assault took center stage in Downtown Tucson on Tuesday. Many who gathered wore the color teal to show they stand with survivors.
Monje said one of the myths is that real victims always report the crime to police. In fact, 2 out of 3 sexual assaults are never reported. Prieto said the department has taken steps to better prepare officers who respond to incidents of sexual assault. Tucson Mayor, Regina Romero, declared April to be Sexual Assault Awareness Month in Tucson. It marks the start of a month-long campaign to educate more people about local resources.
