NCEDSV is participating in the national SAAM campaign through social media awareness initiatives and by promoting statewide resources for sexual assault.
Join us in promoting public awareness of sexual assault prevention and response through social media. NCEDSV will post SAAM-specific content via our social media channels throughout April that you can then share to your pages to help raise community awareness. Add links to your own websites and resources and share with your audiences.
Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Learn more about SAAM through the
National Sexual Violence Resource Center’s (NSVRC) website.
NCEDSV defines sexual assault as a form of power-based violence with an explicit sexual component. This includes, but is not limited to: unwanted touching and/or contact; unwanted fondling and/or groping; sexual harassment; forced masturbation; forced touching of another; exposing one’s genitals or naked body to another without consent; forcing another to watch pornography or sexual acts without their consent; watching another in a private act without their knowledge or consent; unwanted removal of clothing; dissemination of one’s private photos or videos; rape or penetration without consent. NCEDSV defines consent as freely given and affirmative and not the omission of dissent. Anyone can be a victim of sexual assault including, men, children, transgender or gender-nonconforming persons, and regardless of sexual orientation.
