Other Resources
- Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month: During #SAAPM, we ask people to engage with this issue more directly by learning more about sexual violence, sharing important statistics, and stepping up to stop sexual assault. Our SAAPM page is your guide to getting involved, including shareable graphics, sample social media posts, and talking points.
- Request a Speaker: The RAINN Speakers Bureau is made up of nearly 4,000 survivors of sexual violence who volunteer to share their stories. To raise awareness on RAINN Day, you can request a survivor to call in to your virtual event to share their story. Fill out the request form 4 to 6 weeks before your event so that we can best match you to a survivor from the RAINN Speakers Bureau.
- Graphics and Banners: Connect even more people with the help they need and deserve. Share graphics with information about the National Sexual Assault Hotline on your website or social media.
