On April 6th, 2023, in collaboration with the Philadelphia Commission for Women, WOAR will be hosting the Annual Teal Day Press Conference. The event will take place at the North Apron of City Hall from 12-2 PM. This year's SAAM and press conference theme is "Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity," recognizing that it will take ending all forms of oppression to end sexual harassment, assault, and abuse.
Since 2001, April has been observed as National Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). SAAM is an annual campaign to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence and raise public awareness about sexual assault, harassment, and abuse. SAAM has empowered many groups and individuals across the Commonwealth to make a difference in preventing sexual violence in our communities.
Teal is the color chosen to represent and raise awareness for sexual assault survivors. WOAR will be offering a lot of opportunities for individuals and organizations to support efforts to eliminate sexual violence in the City of Philadelphia. Please join us in wearing something teal to show your support for victims of sexual violence and for those working to end violence in our homes, communities, and the nation.
