Bill 118 S.Res. 360, also known as the "National Hazing Awareness Week" resolution, aims to designate the week of September 25 through September 29, 2023, as a time to raise awareness about the dangers and consequences of hazing. Hazing is a harmful practice that involves subjecting individuals to humiliating or dangerous rituals as a condition of joining a group or organization.
The resolution highlights the need to educate the public, especially young people, about the negative impact of hazing on individuals and communities. It emphasizes the importance of promoting a culture of respect, inclusion, and safety within organizations and institutions.
By designating a specific week for National Hazing Awareness, the resolution seeks to spark conversations, increase awareness, and ultimately prevent hazing incidents from occurring. It encourages schools, colleges, and other organizations to take proactive measures to address and prevent hazing, and to support victims who have been affected by this harmful practice.
Overall, Bill 118 S.Res. 360 aims to bring attention to the issue of hazing and promote a safer and more respectful environment for all individuals.
