97% of women are sexual assaulted in the United States and this is an issue. We need to do something about this. Women need to feel safe when going out or walking alone. We can't keep having this happen, women should not have to feel unsafe. We need as many people as we can get to sign this petition to stop sexual assault. After women are sexually assaulted it is vary hard to move on from that and they can deal with depression or anxiety after what they have been through and most women will remember what happened to them for the rest of there lives. 1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.
