Sexual Assault Awareness Month #NoMore Pledge

,

For Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2020, UNAVSA joined NO MORE ORG as part of the #NoMore Pledge.  We also included the following information in our initial release.

By pledging with the NO MORE Project, you are asserting that you will do your best to:
1). Know More about Sexual Assault and the warning signs or red flags for domestic violence, sexual assault and abuse as a critical first step in addressing and preventing these crimes.
2). Stand With Survivors – Help Survivors find the help they need and be a safe space for them to share their experiences with
3). Speak Up – Challenge yourself to use language that does not diminish survivors, and to speak out for yourself or others that have experienced sexual violence
4). Give Back – Find ways to give back your time or money to spreading the word about safe and consensual sexual encounters

Not only is sexual assault a pervasive issue, but due to COVID-19 many victims are quarantined with their abuser or forced to remain in an unsafe situation. We recommend everyone read the following articles to better contextualize sexual assault and COVID-19.
