A recent United Way study shows a compelling link
between rising teen pregnancy rates and sexual
victimization. That’s troubling because it means many
young mothers’ lives were changed forever by a
criminal act. Most sexual assault victims know their
assailants, so the victims fear for their safety. Many
incidents more go unreported. Advocacy groups and law
enforcement should launch a cooperative PR campaign to
encourage victims to overcome their fear. Safety
should be a right, not a privilege.
