Creating awareness April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. This year’s theme of “Engaging New Voices” builds on the idea that we are stronger together and that new partners are needed to expand sexual assault prevention efforts. The Women’s Crisis Center reminds us that one way to create awareness is to get engaged this April during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Participate in Green Dot Day on April 18. Green Dot is a strategy focused on preventing sexual violence, partner violence, child abuse, elder abuse, bullying and stalking. For more information visit: greendot gcky.org. Participate in Denim Day on April 26. Wear denim to protest all sexual violence and to remind that no clothing item can cause or is an excuse for sexual assault. Learn more at nsvrc.org/saam.
