This April marks the 25th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). This year’s theme, “25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward,” honors the resilience of survivors and our shared commitment to a future where everyone is safe and respected.
At NECO, we’re dedicated to maintaining an environment free from violence and harassment. If you or someone you know has been affected by sexual or gender-based misconduct, please know that what you feel and need is valid. There are multiple pathways for support:
