April is Child Abuse Prevention Month and Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Just a Reminder April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month

Not only are these two of the most pressing issues of our time. They share a huge cross where they intersect. Child rape, molestation, peer sexual abuse, youth date rape, and child sex trafficking and prostitution among others. I know it is probably fruitless to mention the color for SAAM is Teal or the Color for Child Abuse Prevention is blue. Because we probably won’t be out enough to see a hint of it. I know mentioning how that April 29 is denim day or how around that day events are planned where people gather around either as victims or allies to show awareness surrounding sexual assault and support for all victims of sexual assault.  But I do know it is this month and we all need to be aware of it.

Thank You,
