Sexual Assault Awareness Month

This year’s theme for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, 'Together We Act, United We Change,' highlights the power of collective action in breaking the silence and driving real change. About 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men have experienced completed or attempted sexual assault in their lifetime. At The Center for Sexual Assault Survivors, we are committed to creating a world free from sexual violence and intimate partner violence.

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, we are here to support you. Call us at 757-236-5260 for help and additional resources. Together, we can make a difference.
