April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Knoxville wants to play an active role in preventing sexual violence.
On Monday, Knoxville Mayor Brian Hatch announced a proclamation by the city to bring attention to such violence. The proclamation also reminds citizens that Crisis Intervention Services always has trained advocates available to provide services to survivors of sexual violence and their loved ones in Knoxville and the surrounding area.
A similar proclamation is expected to be made in Pella today.
