Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is observed every April to raise awareness about sexual violence, promote prevention, and support survivors. It aims to educate the public about the prevalence of sexual assault, challenge myths and misconceptions, and encourage communities to create safer environments. SAAM emphasizes the importance of consent, respect, and healthy relationships, while also fostering resources and support networks for those affected. The month serves as a reminder that preventing sexual violence requires collective effort, understanding, and ongoing advocacy to end harm and promote healing.
