April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Released: April 2, 2025 at 1:28 p.m.

A quarter of sexual assault related calls to police involve victims 14-17 years old.

Building trust and having honest discussions is one of the most valuable ways parents can support their young adults in understanding and navigating these challenging topics. By having ongoing conversations, you can help cultivate awareness and resilience, ensuring they are prepared and informed.

Always remember: Tell someone you trust. And when you are ready, we are here to help.

The Winnipeg Police Service promotes public education and awareness by offering presentations on ways to prevent crime and abuse. If you think your school or community group could benefit from a presentation to build awareness, let us know.
