Native America Calling, Thursday, March 3, 2016 — Men Are Sexually Abused, Too LISTEN

Sexual assault is an ongoing problem for girls and women. At the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention finds 1 in 71 men report being victims of rape at some time in their lives. Nearly 28 percent of those say they became victims when they were 10 years old or younger. What challenges do Native men and boys face as victims of sexual assault? And is it time to talk about it and raise awareness?
