This month is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). SAAM began in 2010 when the White House issued a proclamation to declare April to be a time to raise awareness of sexual assault, to make our response more powerful, and to bolster support for victims. President Obama called for action at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels. Sexual assault affects people of all backgrounds and ages, though some more than others. Hopefully this year’s reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act will do more to protect immigrant women, Native American Women, and those under the LGBT umbrella.
