April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM).
- The national theme for Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2024 is “Building Connected Communities.” By building connected communities we can reduce the likelihood of sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. Any space where people come together is a community, whether in neighborhoods, workplaces, campuses, organizations, or even online spaces. Learn more and find national SAAM resources here.

- Denim Day is on April 24. Denim Day is a campaign on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Denim Day asks community members, elected officials, businesses, and students to make a social statement with their fashion statement by wearing jeans on this day as a visible means of protest against the misconceptions that surround sexual violence.
