Tuesday April 29, 2025: Stand With Survivors. Support Prevention. 

April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)— a time to raise awareness, support survivors, and take action to prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. This year’s theme is “Together We Act, United We Change.” It’s a reminder that we all have a role to play in creating safer communities and ending sexual violence.

Each April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) offers a powerful opportunity to not only affirm our efforts to prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment alongside our partners and fellow advocates—but also to to educate and welcome new voices to the movement. 

As a part of our Together We Act, United We Change campaign for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) 2025, we're excited to release three new coloring pages available in English and Spanish. The pages are designed to spark conversations, inspire reflection, and engage people of all ages in the movement to prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment.
