April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and the Department of Defense is calling attention to the resources available to service members who were victims of sexual assault. The Marine Corps trains Uniformed Victim Advocates and Sexual Assault Response Coordinators to provide resources to victims and to support them throughout the healing process.
