Publication Date: Apr 2023

The theme of Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2023 is “Drawing Connections:  Prevention Demands Equity.”  This April's campaign calls on all individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions to change ourselves and the systems surrounding us to build racial equity and respect.  #SAAM2023 is all about making connections in every sense of the word:  making connections with our work, with others, with our community, with our history, and with ourselves.  Find out how an array of issues are connected, and how ending all forms of violence is the linchpin to preventing sexual violence.
