April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month 🩵
This month, and every month, we stand with survivors, honor their strength, and recommit ourselves to preventing sexual violence.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month has been recognized in the United States since the early 2000s, growing from decades of advocacy led by survivors and communities demanding change. Today, it serves as a powerful reminder that education, awareness, and action are essential in creating a safer future.
As you swipe through, you’ll find an overview of SAAM, its history, and key statistics that highlight the scope of this issue. These numbers matter—but so do the stories, the voices, and the people behind them.
At the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, we believe prevention is possible, survivors deserve support, and together, we can create lasting change.
