Sexual Assault Awareness Month is a time to draw attention to the prevalence of sexual assault and educate individuals and communities about how to prevent it.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center says we can trace a line from sexual violence to systems of oppression and has made the theme of their annual Sexual Assault Awareness Month campaign “Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity.” The campaign calls on all individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions to change the systems surrounding us to build equity and respect within the community, workplace, and the future our youth hold.
