April 7 - National SAAM Day Of Action


Happy National SAAM Day of Action! Each year on the First Tuesday in April, National Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) Day of Action provides a day to focus awareness on sexual violence prevention.  
  
Nationally recognized in the United States and observed annually as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), SAAM Day of Action provides tools and resources throughout the campaign. 

This day aims to stop sexual assault, harassment, and abuse before they happen through education. Teaching about consent and understanding boundaries is important, but requires a societal change as well. 

Currently, the stigma of sexual assault rests with the victims. Until that view changes, sexual assault will continue to go unpunished. 

Through social media campaigns, events and more, the day promotes valuable resources to help change the societal view. The day also provides ways to support victims throughout the month and beyond. 

HOW TO OBSERVE 

Show your support by wearing teal and sharing on social media posts such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Learn about consent and how it works. Attend or register an event by visiting the links below. 

Use #SAAMDayOfAction to post on social media. 

HISTORY
