This April, Everyone Will Be Talking About Healthy Sexuality
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and this year "It's time to talk about it!
This year, the Sexual Assault Awareness Month campaign encourages communities and individuals to bring healthy sexuality
into the conversation on how we connect, respect and prevent sexual violence. What is healthy sexuality?
Healthy sexuality means having the knowledge and power to express sexuality in ways that enrich one's life. Promoting healthy
behaviors encourages sexual interactions and relationships that are consensual, respectful and informed. Healthy sexuality is
free from coercion and violence.
The Sexual Assault Awareness Month Day of Action is April 3. Here are ways to connect and talk about it.
1. Use tweets, posts and status updates to spread the word about Sexual Assault Awareness Month
2. Join the National Sexual Violence Resource Center on twitter for an hour-long town hall discussion each Tuesday in April.
3. Add a teal ribbon graphic, banner or background to you online profile or website.
4. Connect with NSVRC on Facebook.com/nsvrc and twitter.com/nsvrc and stay tuned for SAAM-related updates
