April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month, spotlighting Native women’s crisis
This April, the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center highlights the alarming rates of sexual violence faced by Native women during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Native women are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual violence than other women in the U.S., with most perpetrators being non-Native. Throughout SAAM, NIWRC shares resources, educates on prevention, and uplifts survivors’ voices. By supporting grassroots advocacy, Native-led efforts, and healing, we can address this crisis and protect future generations.
