Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2025
Salt Lake City, Utah – March 21, 2025 – The Rape Recovery Center is proud to announce the launch of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) 2025, a month dedicated to supporting survivors, raising awareness, and driving action toward a world free from sexual violence. The theme for this year, “Together We Act, United We Change,” underscores the collective power of unity, compassion, and resilience in creating meaningful change in our communities.
"Sexual Assault Awareness Month is a powerful reminder that change happens when we come together," said Sana, Community Engagement Director at the Rape Recovery Center. "Every action—whether it's attending an event, sharing a resource, or simply believing a survivor—contributes to a future where sexual violence is no longer tolerated. This month, we invite everyone to stand with us in fostering a culture of consent, respect, and healing."
