 Preventing sexual assault is larger than the assault itself. Since the SAPRA campaign was launched in June of 2012, Marines have participated in intense and large-scale initiatives aimed at preventing sexual assault. The emerging crop of data from recent surveys and reports indicate we are moving in the right direction. I want you to know that your efforts are having a real and direct impact in stopping this crime. One of the most successful outcomes of the SAPRA campaign to date has been the significant increase in reporting of sexual assault, which is traditionally a highly underreported crime. The annual report on sexual assault in the military for FY13 shows that a growing number of sexual assault victims are reporting the crime and not remaining silent. This development is significant because by coming forward victims gain ready access to supportive services and enable increased offender accountability. The SAPRA campaign is breaking down pre-existing beliefs about sexual assault and to build up bystander intervention principles. For example, across surveys conducted in FY13 and FY14, an increasing number of Marines stated that they believe there are fewer barriers to reporting such as stigma and fear and that there is more leadership support for SAPRA efforts. More Marines also said they would be more likely to step up to stop a sexual assault from occurring. This is a good thing. We are encouraged by these positive elements, but we still have a lot of work ahead. We will continue to empower victims. In addition, we will continue to listen to and incorporate feedback from you via surveys, focus groups, and other tools to ensure we are providing quality services and effective initiatives. In recognition of this April's sexual assault awareness month, I not only want to take the opportunity around mid-month to give you a more detailed update on our progress, but also answer questions you may have about our programs, our processes, or the crime of sexual assault. Post your questions in the comments below and we'll respond to as many as we can in a follow-up video. I want to hear from you. I'd like to personally thank you for all that you do. Stay engaged, Marines. Semper Fi.
