Day One to Hold 5K to Kickoff Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Day One is bringing together students from high schools and universities across Rhode Island, businesses, and other organizations to be a part of the movement.
The road race will take place on the East Side of Providence, and is the first of its kind in the state aimed at raising awareness about sexual assault on college campuses. In line with President Obama’s recent formation of a task force designed specifically to address college sexual assault, Day One is committed to addressing this national priority locally.

One in five women will be sexually assaulted while at college,” says Peg Langhammer, executive director of Day One. “The theme of this year’s SAAM campaign is ‘It’s time to talk about it’ and it couldn’t be more fitting. Our 5K and other activities are designed to not only raise awareness but to also begin the conversation about sexual violence prevention and treatment.”

Sexual violence statistics
- One in six boys and one in four girls will experience a sexual assault before the age 18
- One in five women and one in 71 men will be raped at some point in their lives
- A majority of women who reported being raped at some point in their life (79.6%) experienced their first rape before the age of 25, and 42.2% experienced their first completed rape before the age of 18
- More than 25% of male victims in a national sample reported their first rape was when they were 10 years of age or younger
- Rape is far more extensive than reported in official statistics, and the majority of rapists are never apprehended
Sexual violence is a broad term that includes rape, incest, child sexual abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual exploitation, human trafficking, unwanted sexual contact, sexual harassment, exposure, and voyeurism. These crimes are widespread and occur daily in our communities, schools, and workplaces, but sexual violence can be prevented. Community members can work to prevent sexual violence by establishing healthy and positive relationships that are based on respect, safety, and equality.
