Harassment, cyberbullying, sexual abuse, & exploitation have become nearly unavoidable online. It is our role in #BuildingSafeOnlineSpacesTogether to intervene when we see harmful content/behaviors, practice digital consent, and promote positive online communities.

Today, we wear denim with a purpose: to support survivors and educate the community about sexual violence. #DenimDay began as a protest against a sexual assault ruling by the Italian Supreme Court.

Consent is a freely given enthusiastic expression or verbal agreement between partners to engage in sexual activity. In regards to consent, #OnlyYesMeansYes. If unsure, always ask. Consent obtained via threats or coercion, isn't consent. Consent is always reversible.

In 2021 California became the first state to make stealthing illegal. Stealthing refers to the removal of a condom during a sex act w/o your partners consent. Stealthing can lead to unwanted pregnancies, STD's, and can be considered a form of sexual and emotional abuse. #SAAM2022

Pillars hotline connects survivors with advocates 24/7. Advocates can accompany survivors to courthouses, police stations, & hospitals to provide support and information. Counseling services are also available to survivors and significant others. Call today 708-482-9600 #SAAM2022

While #MeToo has grown awareness of sexual assault, little is being done to help survivors with disabilities. In this great article, activists weigh in about holding space for inclusivity in support.
