About Sexual Assault Awareness Month
Day of Action
The first Tuesday of every April is the Sexual Assault Awareness Month Day of Action.
SAAM - Get Involved
There are many ways to get involved in spreading awareness and taking action during #SAAM2024.
Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity
We can trace a line from sexual violence to systems of oppression, and we can’t end sexual violence without also ending racism. Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity calls on all individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions to change ourselves and the systems surrounding us to build racial equity and respect.
Existing Measures
It is easy to get caught up in the idea of using measures that have been validated through research studies (e.g., the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance Scale) as your tools of choice. While there are definite benefits to this (see below), there are also significant drawbacks. As with all things in evaluation, using existing measures should be done very deliberately and should not be considered the default option when planning your evaluation.
