Today's Class: "Sexual Assault Awareness" was taught by Hilda, Focusing Families.
Recap: SAAM 'Sexual Assault Awareness Month'
This years theme for sexual assault awareness month is "Together We Act, United We Change". It highlights the importance of working together to address and prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. Sexual violence impacts everyone. The campaign focuses on enhancing public understanding of sexual violence, amplifying the voices of survivors, and empowering us to work together to give our communities a safe and supportive environment to live in. ANYONE can be a victim of sexual violence, and people who commit sexual abuse, assault, and harassment exist in ALL of our communities. Education is the first step to action. It gives our communities power to be a part of the solution.
Sexual Violence is an umbrella term that includes ANY type of unwanted sexual contact including sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.
Every 68 seconds an American is Sexually assaulted and every 9 minutes that victim is a child.
Together, we act with purpose! United, we have the power to change the world for the better. Together We Act, United We Change.
