Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2018
This year during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we’re calling for participants to Embrace Your Voice. The words we use to talk about sexual violence matter and influence how we think about and respond to it. We all have spheres of influence where we can contribute to change! This year’s SAAM theme calls on us all to recognize those places and spaces where our voices and actions can contribute to preventing sexual violence.
