Sexual Violence Awareness Month provides a significant opportunity to raise awareness about the prevalence of sexual violence, its impact on survivors, and the resources available to support healing. This year, the Waypoints theme for SVAM is "United We Act, Together We Change.” We are dedicated to creating a safer community where individuals can find support, advocacy, and healing from the trauma of sexual violence.

This month is a time to amplify conversations that matter—addressing the realities of sexual violence, confronting misconceptions, and reinforcing the values of respect, empathy, and accountability. Waypoints is hosting several awareness-driven events to inform, engage, and mobilize our community. We stand in solidarity with survivors and continue to push for a future where safety and dignity are non-negotiable.

Together, we can work towards a future where everyone is empowered to speak out, seek help, and heal without fear of judgment or shame.
