April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), a time to educate communities about sexual violence and how to prevent it.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 3 women and nearly 1 in 4 men in the United States experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime.
Ways to Get Involved:
