Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This is a valuable time to remind your employees of the pervasiveness of sexual violence and the measures they can take to prevent and address it in your organization. Sexual assault and harassment impact individuals of all genders, sexual orientations, races, professions, and ages. According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC), 81% of women and 43% of men reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment and/or assault in their lifetime. However, the majority of these instances go unreported.

As a result of the pandemic, some employees may be living at home with an abuser and at a higher risk for sexual violence, while others may be grappling with prior trauma. Additionally, as employees increasingly rely on online operations and communication channels, including social media platforms, they may face online harassment. Vector LiveSafe is here to help.

Whether your employees are working in person, online, or a hybrid, the threat of sexual assault and harassment remains. This Sexual Assault Awareness Month, use this Toolkit to build awareness and to reduce the risk of sexual violence and its repercussions in your organization.
