Breaking the Silence: AWICS Advocates for Survivors of Sexual Assault in the Military and Workplace

Introduction:

Sexual assault is a devastating and deeply traumatic experience that can leave survivors feeling isolated and helpless. In environments like the military and workplace, individuals may face additional challenges in coming forward due to fear, stigma, and a lack of resources. This blog aims to shed light on the critical issue of sexual assault in these settings and introduce AWICS, a compassionate ally with a proven background in investigating such crimes.
