PHILADELPHIA, April 6, 2023 – City officials joined community leaders for the Annual Teal Day Press Conference hosted by the Philadelphia Commission for Women and WOAR Philadelphia Center Against Sexual Violence in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM).
SAAM is a campaign that aims to increase awareness about the causes and risk factors for sexual assault and empower individuals to take steps to prevent it in their communities. The color teal represents solidarity and support for sexual assault survivors, as well as those working to end violence in our homes, communities, and nation.
This year's focus is “Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity,” calling on individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions to change systems of oppression to build racial equity and end sexual harassment, assault, and abuse.
