Sexual Assault Awareness Month
2025-04-01 - 2025-04-30
WCASA invites programs to share local and statewide events for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). WCASA is collecting information about SAAM events via the survey below and we will post all events on the calendar on our website.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/wcasaSAAM2025

From NSVRC: “The theme “Together We Act, United We Change” highlights the importance of working together to address and prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. This campaign focuses on enhancing public understanding of sexual violence, amplifying the voices of survivors, and empowering us to work together to promote the safety and well-being of others. Everyone in our communities deserves to live in safe and supportive environments where they are treated with respect. When our workplaces, schools, and communities work together to uphold safety and respect, we make progress in preventing sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.”
