#AskDCOAG #ConsentIsKeyDC

@BreaktheCycleDV @DCRapeCrisis @NVRDC @drmcfadgion @ivpphu According to the CDC, 10% of high school students report being a victim of physical/sexual violence from a romantic partner each year.

OAG works to stop this violence through year-round consent trainings & its annual #RelationshipGoals summit for teens. #AskDCOAG #ConsentIsKeyDC

@BreaktheCycleDV @DCRapeCrisis @NVRDC @drmcfadgion @ivpphu OAG's Domestic Violence and Special Victims Section also uses a victim-centric approach to help the District's most vulnerable communities, including sexual assault victims, and provide them with the special services they need to cope with trauma.
