VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (April 1, 2021) 2021 marks the official 20th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. The signing of the annual SAAPM Proclamation solidifies our committment to change the culture to prevent sexual violence. In supporting this year's theme, "Protecting our people, protects our mission. REPECT-PROTECT-EMPOWER," we encourage everyone across ranks, rates, and communities to take an active role to increase awareness about the causes and risk factors for sexual assault and empower individuals to take steps to prevent it.
