Yes, it is *technically* May, but we have one more SAAM org spotlight because, let's be real, sexual assault activism needs to happen EVERY month. So, today we are featuring the Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP).

[UIowa LEAP @uiowa_LEAP]

RVAP provides free, confidential, trauma-informed advocacy to all affected by sexual violence and promotes social change through prevention education. #SAAM #IAsk #IAskForConsent #ConsentIsMandatory

Consent should never be assumed. If you are unsure, ask! #IAsk #IAskForConsent #SAAM #ConsentIsMandatory

Can we slow down? Maybe we should wait... *silence* Hmm, maybe we should wait. Let me think about it.... SAAM April 2019 I Ask For Consent (2/2)

[UIowa LEAP @uiowa_LEAP]

Consent can be tricky, but not if you know what to look for. Remember that consent must be enthusiastic, ongoing, not coerced, and not under any influences like drugs or alcohol. Yes means yes! Anything else means no!
