April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)
When a survivor of sexual violence speaks up, how we respond can change everything. Too often, they are met with doubt, blame, or silence when what they need most is belief and support.
This Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we’re asking you to take the hashtag#StartByBelieving pledge and commit to:
• Listen with compassion
• Provide tangible support
• Educate ourselves and our communities
• Challenge harmful attitudes
• Advocate for justice
Sign the pledge today and be part of the movement to end the silence. Visit https://loom.ly/lWVJ_2A to make your commitment official.
Together, we can create a world where survivors feel safe, supported, and heard. It starts with us. 💙

1 April 2025
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) – a time to shine a light on the reality of sexual violence and take action to support survivors.
Too often, survivors face disbelief, blame, or silence when they share their stories. This can add to their trauma and prevent them from seeking help. But we have the power to change that.
The Start by Believing campaign is a global movement that encourages us all to respond with belief, compassion, and support. When someone discloses, our response can make all the difference.
This month, let’s commit to breaking the cycle of silence. Your belief could be the first step in someone’s healing journey.
