"For 25 years, Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) has united survivors, advocates, and communities in the shared commitment to end sexual assault, abuse, and harassment. This milestone is both a celebration of progress and a call to keep moving forward.

 

The theme “25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward” honors the history and growth of the movement while reaffirming our commitment to a safer future for all.

 

Looking back, we remember the survivors and advocates who laid the foundation for change. Moving forward, we renew our focus on prevention, healing, and action.

​

As we celebrate 25 years of SAAM, we recognize how far we’ve come and the work still ahead. Together, we can continue to shift culture, strengthen prevention, and create a world free from sexual violence.

​

By standing in solidarity, we can build a future free from sexual violence and create a world where everyone is safe, valued, and respected."
