Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Posted on April 5, 2010

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Students march in a rally against sexual violence.

In April, Cal Poly Pomona marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the goal of raising awareness about sexual violence and its prevention.

Throughout the month, the Violence Prevention & Women’s Resource Center (VPWRC) will host educational programs focusing on “effective consent,” a verbal agreement on both sides to participate in sexual activity. Other events will educate people on preventing sexual violence through bystander awareness.

For more information, call VPWRC at (909) 869-3112 or visit www.dsa.cpp.edu/vpwrc/Sexual_Assault_Awareness.asp.
