The Visionary Voice Awards are presented annually by the NSVRC in conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a national campaign held each April to raise awareness about preventing sexual violence.
The award is presented to a wide range of public servants and industry professionals nominated by state, territory and tribal coalitions. This year’s award recipients include Pennsylvania Rep. Mark Rozzi, who has been leading the charge to reform the statutes of limitations that restrict the time survivors of child sexual abuse have to bring civil actions against those who abused them and institutions that may have acted to hide the abuse, and Guam Sen. Benjamin J.F. Cruz, who has championed the rights of sexual assault victims to improve systems’ responses to victims and survivors.
