Increasing community awareness of sexualized violence and its effects
- Changing societal attitudes that perpetuate sexualized violence
- Strengthening collaboration among individuals and organizations working towards the elimination of sexualized violence
- Contributing to the development of social, legal and educational policies relating to the elimination of sexualized violence.

Today, SSAIC recognizes International Day of Non-Violence.🚫

Sexualized violence is not inevitable, it is rooted in inequality, silence, and the misuse of power. Choosing non-violence means more than rejecting physical harm; it means committing to respect, equity, and consent in every part of our lives.

Today and every day, SSAIC aims to help disseminate violence of r**e culture and sexualized violence.

We all deserve to live in a world free from violence, where survivors are believed, supported, and respected, and where safety, consent, and dignity are the norm.🤍

🧡 On September 30th, we honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and recognize Orange Shirt Day.

2026 marks Canada’s sixth year of formally observing this day, which exists to shed light on the lasting connection between the abuse suffered in residential schools and the ongoing impacts felt in Indigenous communities today.

🧡 Orange Shirt Day opens the door to conversations about the truths of residential schools: the pain, the loss, and the legacy that continues to affect survivors, families, and future generations. It is a time to reflect, to listen, and to commit ourselves to reconciliation.

📚 Take this day to learn about the history of residential schools, explore their intergenerational impacts, engage meaningfully with events in your community, and learn how you can support the movement forward.

🤝 You can find local events through Reconciliation Saskatoon (reconciliationsaskatoon.com), or deepen your understanding by reading the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action Final Report.

🧡 Wear orange. Honour survivors. Listen with an open heart. Advocate for truth and reconciliation.

Today we celebrate Bisexuality+ day!

Bisexuality as an identity has been stigmatized in the past, and today is a day to recognize and celebrate all folks that identify as bisexual, including survivors.

Bisexual Awareness Week also takes place every year from September 16th - 23rd.

was founded by GLAAD, the Bisexual Resource Center, and Still Bisexual as a week to recognize the celebrate the bisexual+ (bisexual, pansexual, fluid, no label, q***r, etc.) community.

Did we lose you at any of those terms? Check out 's amazing list of Q***r Terms --> https://www.outsaskatoon.ca/q***r_terms.

Bisexual folks experience alarmingly high rates of slut-shaming, victim-blaming, and gender-based violence. If you're a bi person reading this, know that SSAIC is here for you.

When someone is the victim of a crime, we usually ask who harmed them, not what they did to cause it.

Yet, unlike many other crimes, survivors of sexualized violence are often met with victim-blaming, disbelief, stigma, and isolation; responses that can deepen the harm and make healing even more difficult.

We don't ask victims of theft or kidnapping what they could have done differently. We shouldn't ask survivors of sexualized violence, either.

The responsibility belongs with the person who chose to cause harm, not the person who experienced it. 🫶

To survivors: if you were met with disbelief or questioned about what happened, we see you, and we believe you. 💜

SSAIC's supports are always here for you. If you'd like to book an appointment with one of our counsellors, call us at (306) 244-2294. You can also call our 24-hour crisis line at (306) 244-2224. 📞

SSAIC's favourite week! 💜

Consent Awareness Week was launched nationally in 2022 by Possibility Seeds (), in collaboration with High School Too. The week was intentionally placed in the third week of September, during what’s known as the “Red Zone”: the first six weeks of post-secondary school when rates of sexualized violence are at their highest.

At SSAIC, we are proud to champion and advocate for consent awareness every day. Talking about consent goes far beyond a simple yes or no; it’s about setting boundaries, knowing and honouring your right to autonomy, and listening to and respecting others.

💡 Consent is for everyone, in every situation. Whether in friendships, workplaces, or intimate relationships, consent matters. We’re especially passionate about conversations around sexual consent, which must always be:
✨ Freely given
✨ Informed
✨ Enthusiastic
✨ Revocable
✨ Specific

That’s the best kind of consent, the only legal kind, too!

To learn more about Consent Awareness Week, check out possibilityseeds.ca, as well as couragetoact.ca. Two wonderful organizations driving conversations around consent! Attending USASK? Follow for more information and events near you!
