The Alaska National Guard is working on breaking the stigma of sexual assault through the power of conversation.
Dinolfo said they decided to release the proclamation as a “visual statement,” illuminating the National Guard’s response to sexual assault. Sexual assault can impact anyone, Dinolfo said.
For that reason, the Guard decided highlighting advocates would be a big focus of their mission this year to eliminate sexual assault. “We are really focusing on the ‘advocate’ part of that,” Dinolfo said. “Because being an advocate and advocating for a victim is not just the job for one person ... its everybody’s job.”
The Guard is also organizing Denim Day and Teal Tuesdays to spread awareness and show support toward victims. Victims of Assault can reach out to the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program for help, to work with a victim advocate to find both military and non-military assistance services.
