Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
The purpose of the national SAAM campaign is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and prioritize prevention through education and collective action.
Sexual assault can take many different forms, but one thing remains the same: it’s never the victim’s fault.
What then is sexual assault?
The term sexual assault refers to sexual contact or behavior that occurs without explicit consent of the victim. Some forms of sexual assault include:
*Attempted rape
*Fondling or unwanted sexual touching
*Forcing a victim to perform sexual acts, such as oral sex or penetrating the perpetrator’s body
*Penetration of the victim’s body, also known as rape
Sexual assault prevention is possible, in my next upload we shall look into ways to prevent sexual assault.
