SMWDC hosted many SAAPM events to raise awareness. Those activities included the “No-more” campaign, base clean-up, denim day, and culminated with a SAAPM proclamation event held at SMWDC headquarters April 28th.
The “No-more” campaign is dedicated to ending domestic violence and sexual assault by increasing awareness, inspiring action and fueling culture change.

To the Editor:
April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It is always the goal of Sexual Assault Awareness Month to raise awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence. This year’s campaign focuses on building safe online spaces. Sexual harassment, assault, and abuse can happen anywhere, including in online spaces. As we connect online, we can learn how to practice digital consent, intervene when we see harmful content or behaviors, and ensure that online spaces – whether they be workspaces, classrooms, social media platforms, or otherwise – are respectful and safe.
