FUNDING FOR SUPPORTING SURVIVORS SHOULD BE ONGOING

 

Sexual assault has affected the lives of countless New Mexicans, our families and loved ones. In fact, a recent victimization report shows that more than half of New Mexicans report experiencing sexual violence in their lifetime. That's over 1.1 million people, yet 2/3s have not received any type of professional help.

​

Throughout the year, a network of sexual assault programs work together to support survivors across our beautiful state, in holistic, compassionate and culturally affirming ways. However, these programs are already struggling to maintain critical services and address gaps, especially for rural areas and marginalized communities.​

​

Add your voice and tell your legislatures why it is important that they fully fund sexual assault services and prevention in NM!
