A motorcycle ride this week in Hardin County is putting the spotlight on sexual assault awareness and prevention.
The U.S. Army Human Resources Command at Fort Knox is holding its annual “Raise the Bars Motorcycle Ride” Thursday.
Participants will start at Fort Knox and ride to “Silverleaf Sexual Trauma Recovery Services” in Elizabethtown.
James Frye is a victims advocate for the Army Human Resources Command.
He says recent high-profile cases across the nation have led to increased awareness about the need to identity workplace harassment and assault.
“We believe if you see something, say something. Nobody should just be a bystander because if you think you’re not going to be in the story, you already are. And I myself would rather be a person in the story who tried to do something to help someone who was in trouble, rather than just standing by and watching.”
Thursday’s motorcycle ride is open to Fort Knox soldiers, family members, civilian staff, and the public.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month.
