SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 98
         WHEREAS, Sexual Assault Survivors Day is being held at the
  State Capitol on January 28, 2023, to promote awareness of the
  issue of sexual assault and to honor the courage of survivors
  throughout the Lone Star State; and
         WHEREAS, Each year, thousands of Americans from all walks
  of life are subject to sexual assault; in the United States, 1 in
  6 women and 1 in 33 men will experience an attempted or completed
  rape in their lifetime, and 1 in 9 girls and 1 in 53 boys
  experience sexual abuse at the hands of an adult before the age of
  18; more than two-thirds of sexual assaults are never reported to
  the police; and
         WHEREAS, In 2019, the Texas Legislature established Sexual
  Assault Survivors Day to bring attention to the destructive
  effect that sexual assault has on the lives of survivors and
  their families and friends; moreover, the day serves to highlight
  the strength of survivors, who support the cause by bravely
  sharing their stories, as well as the many law enforcement
  officers, prosecutors, judges, and organizations that fight to
  protect Texans from sexual assault and to advocate for survivors
  of this heinous crime; and
         WHEREAS, Vigilance against sexual assault is crucial to
  the safety and well-being of Texans, and the observance of Sexual
  Assault Survivors Day offers an opportunity to learn more about
  prevention while saluting those who work every day to eliminate
  this crime; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
  Legislature, hereby recognize January 28, 2023, as Sexual
  Assault Survivors Day at the State Capitol.
