Consent should feel clear, mutual, and ongoing.

Checking in matters.
Listening matters.
Respect matters.

Sexual Violence Awareness Month is an opportunity to continue conversations about communication, boundaries, and consent - in relationships, dating, and every day interactions.

Preventing sexual violence requires ACTION.

CHALLENGING harmful attitudes, changing how women are treated and perceived, and creating safe, more respectful communities.

We ALL play a role in PREVENTION.

Education, accountability, consent, and speaking up when something isn't right.

Small actions, cultural change, and collective responsibility ALL matter.
