New Resources for Sexual Assault Awareness MonthApril 01, 2009
AAUW is joining advocacy groups and individuals nationwide in recognizing Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). The first observance of SAAM occurred in 2001, and now each April the National Sexual Violence Resource Center promotes national unity and collective activism among advocacy groups on issues of sexual violence throughout the month, with focuses ranging from prevention to survivor recovery. This year the theme is “Prevent Sexual Violence … in Our Workplaces.”
Visit the new Sexual Assault Awareness Month section of the Legal Advocacy Fund online Resource Library to learn more about this year’s theme, sexual assault in the military, sexual assault on campus, and to find resources and SAAM-related events near you.
