building awareness
In the United States April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM).

The goal of SAAM is to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities on how to prevent it. Join us in wearing teal colors during April as bring awareness to this crime.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to recognize that we each can play an important role in promoting the social and emotional well-being of children and families in our community.

"It takes a village to raise a child.
It takes a village to abuse one."

Talking to Your Kids About Sexual Assault - RAINN
It can be stressful to plan a big safety talk about sexual assault with your kid. The good news is, you don’t have to. Conversations about sexual assault can be a part of the safety conversations you’re already having, like knowing when to speak up, how to take care of friends, and listening to your gut. The key is to start these conversations when your kids are young, and have these conversations often.
