As part of this important month, here are ways you can get involved and have influence: Sexual Assault Awareness | The theme for this year is “Our Voices Have Power. Together, We Can Build Safe and Respectful Communities.” SAAM focuses on creating nurturing and supportive environments to reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. Whether in neighborhoods, workplaces, campuses, organizations, or online spaces, any place where people come together is considered a community. We invite you to show your support for Sexual Assault Awareness Month by wearing teal, the official color of SAAM, and spreading the word on social media using the hashtag #SAAM. International Anti-Street Harassment Week: From April 14 to 20, raise awareness about street harassment and its impact on individuals. SAAM Day of Giving: On April 18, support organizations working to prevent sexual violence by donating or spreading the word. Denim Day: On April 24, people worldwide wear denim to show solidarity with survivors and challenge harmful attitudes, such as “she shouldn’t have been wearing that.” National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (April 21-27, 2024) also intersects with SAAM, emphasizing the importance victim rights in the lives of survivors of sexual violence. | |
