Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) calls attention to the fact that sexual abuse, assault, and harassment are widespread and impact every person and community. SAAM aims to raise public awareness about sexual violence and educate communities on how to prevent it. The theme of Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2026 is "Looking Back, Moving Forward" — celebrates the resilience of survivors and the communities that have worked for change
Each year, Mount Holyoke College engages in a month-long series of events to raise awareness of sexual assault, harassment, misconduct and gender based violence. Throughout the series, we engage the community through educational sessions, activities and awareness programming. We also align with the theme created by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC). For anyone that needs support, please note that there is a 24/7 Care and Support Line: Call 413-538-2037 and follow the prompts to be connected with a clinician.
