Among rows of T-shirts hanging in Panasci Lounge, a dark red one reads, “he was supposed to be my friend” in black and white lettering.
“That shirt shows the community that it can be those closest to you that end up hurting you,” said Melaica Delgado, an SU junior. “But that doesn’t mean you don’t have others to support you.”

CAMBRIDGE - The Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers (MAPS) is marking the 20th Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), celebrated in April of 2021, by engaging with survivors in the community and promoting public awareness about sexual violence and online sexual harassment and abuse.
“We want to remind our community of the importance of preventing online abuse and trauma by highlighting the need for consent in every sexual relationship, even digital ones,” said Dulce Ferreira, MAPS Director of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services.
Throughout the month, the MAPS Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault team will host a series of small, closed virtual conversations with survivors of sexual assault, offering them a safe space to share stories of strength and resilience.
OXFORD â April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, otherwise known as SAAM. During this month, people across the United States raised awareness about sexual violence, how to prevent it, and how to support those who are affected by it.
