April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This mon April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

This month, we stand together to raise awareness, support survivors, and promote a culture rooted in consent, respect, and accountability.

Sexual violence can affect anyone—regardless of age, gender, or background. It’s on all of us to help create safer communities by listening, believing survivors, and speaking up when something isn’t right.

Consent is clear. Consent is ongoing. Consent is necessary.

Join us this April:
💙 Wear teal to show your support
💬 Start conversations that matter
📢 Share resources and spread awareness

Together, we can make a difference.
