Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 2024, as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This Resolution urges Governor Kathy Hochul to officially designate February 2024 as Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month in New York State, aligning with a national observance. The resolution highlights that dating violence, defined as a pattern of physical or emotional abuse by an adolescent against a current or former dating partner to gain control, is a significant issue affecting teens, not just adults. It cites statistics indicating that millions of high school students experience dating abuse annually, with females being disproportionately affected, though males are also at risk. The resolution emphasizes that this abuse can manifest as insults, threats, physical harm, and increasingly, through technology like excessive texting or online monitoring, often going unreported to parents. It underscores the serious long-term consequences for victims, including increased risk of substance abuse, eating disorders, suicide, and future victimization, and asserts that recognizing this month will benefit communities and families by raising awareness and promoting education about these dangers.
