Sexual Assault Awareness Week (SAAW) | April 7-11
About SAAW
Sexual Assault Awareness Week (SAAW) is a time to support survivors of sexual assault, harassment, and abuse. Throughout the week, we come together to raise awareness, educate ourselves, and affirm our commitment to ending sexual and gender based violence. Join the Women*s Center in raising awareness and taking action. Attend our upcoming events and explore resources from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center to learn more about prevention, advocacy, and survivor support. Learn. Support Survivors. Build a safer Community.
