April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
1 April 2025
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) – a time to shine a light on the reality of sexual violence and take action to support survivors.
Too often, survivors face disbelief, blame, or silence when they share their stories. This can add to their trauma and prevent them from seeking help. But we have the power to change that.
The Start by Believing campaign is a global movement that encourages us all to respond with belief, compassion, and support. When someone discloses, our response can make all the difference.
This month, let’s commit to breaking the cycle of silence. Your belief could be the first step in someone’s healing journey.
