A resolution supporting the goals and objectives of Choose Respect Day.

This Senate resolution expresses strong support for the goals and objectives of Choose Respect Day , a day designated to increase awareness of domestic violence and promote respectful relationships. It underscores the pervasive nature of intimate partner violence, noting that millions of individuals experience it annually, leading to significant physical, mental, and social consequences for survivors and their families. The resolution highlights that domestic violence affects diverse populations, including a disproportionate number of American Indian and Alaska Native women, and poses risks to law enforcement. It encourages all private citizens, organizations, and governmental entities to actively recognize Choose Respect Day through proclamations, activities, and educational efforts. The ultimate aim is to foster a culture that rejects the tolerance of domestic violence and encourages safety and respect in relationships.
