💙 Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month 💙

💙 Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month 💙

April is a time to raise awareness, support survivors, and work together to prevent sexual violence in our communities. Sexual assault can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background—and prevention starts with education, respect, and speaking up.

💙 What Public Health Wants You to Know:
✔️ Consent must be clear, informed, and freely given—every time
✔️ Most assaults are committed by someone the survivor knows
✔️ Creating safe, supportive environments helps prevent violence
✔️ Supporting survivors with compassion and without judgment is critical

💙 How You Can Help:
🤝 Believe and support survivors
🗣️ Speak up when you see concerning behaviors
📚 Educate yourself and others about consent and healthy relationships
🏡 Help create safe spaces at home, work, and in the community

If you or someone you know needs support, confidential help is available through the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE or online at rainn.org.

Together, we can build a safer, healthier community for everyone. 💙
