April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2024

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) announces "Building Connected Communities" as the theme for Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2024.

Building Connected Communities helps us reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment in our communities. Any space where people come together is a community, whether in neighborhoods, workplaces, campuses, organizations, or even online spaces. We are all a part of a community, often many, even when we may feel disconnected or apart from them.
