Norton Introduces Resolution to Designate September as ‘National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month’

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) complimented colleges and universities that have embraced September as “National Campus Sexual Assault Awareness Month,” as designated by Norton’s resolution introduced in the House this month.  A Norton has introduced this resolution for the past several years to highlight the problem of sexual assaults on campuses.  She said this resolution is especially needed this year as high schools and college students returned to school in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the exposure of Jeffrey Epstein, who preyed on young women, and the rise of the MeToo Movement.  Norton says these scandals add to the nation’s determination to change behavior at the earlies stages of the lives of young men and women.
