Resource Roundup

Greetings!

As we approach the final days of 2022, we at team NSVRC would like to
take this opportunity to reflect on a few notable releases.

SAAM 2023 banner

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) Theme Announcement

A few weeks ago we announced the theme of the April 2023 SAAM
campaign: "Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands
Equity". The upcoming campaign will be dedicated to showcasing
how systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, classism,
heterosexism, ageism, and ableism contribute to higher sexual
harassment, assault, and abuse rates.

Drawing Connections recognizes that it will take ending all forms of
oppression to end sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. Learn more
about how you can join us in drawing connections leading up to #SAAM
2023.

Blogs

NSVRC blogs tackle timely and relevant topics and explore resources
and research to drive progress in our field. We are highlighting two
blogs from recent months that explore how we can make strides toward
equity by recognizing and addressing the barriers faced by underserved
communities.

* Deaf Awareness Month: Reflecting On Audist Barriers in the
Sexual Violence Field: Within the sexual violence advocacy and
services space, there are still audist structures, barriers, and
attitudes in place. In honor of Deaf Awareness Month, we sought
to identify those areas that still need improvement. We're
raising awareness on these issues as a means to encourage other
advocates, organizations, and community partners to create more
equitable spaces for all hearing, Hard-of-Hearing, and
non-hearing sexual assault survivors.

* The Importance of Data Collection for Violence Against Native
American/Alaska Native Women: This year's Indigenous
Peoples' Day, we recognized the importance of data collection as
it pertains to sexual violence against Native American/Alaska
Native women. There is still much work to be done, but we are
proud of the grassroots work and legislative action made thus
far to meet this problem head on. We also applaud Urban Indian
Health Institute for their tireless work in researching and
educating about this issue.

Podcast Highlights

We had some exciting additions to our podcasts in 2022, including a
series in collaboration with Darin Dorsey, Principal and Co-founder of
Rooting Movements, who interviewed five Black movement leaders about
their experiences of Anti-Blackness in the movement.

Anti-Blackness in the Movement: 5-Episode Podcast Series: This 5-part
podcast series dedicated to creating a movement that is inclusive of
Black workers and survivors is a must listen. For organizations
striving to serve as allies and accomplices to Black communities,
these five podcasts are a tool to better understand how they can
fulfill their commitments and create a movement that addresses
gender-based violence against all people while following the lead of
the most marginalized among us.

Featured guests: Michelle Osborne, Tonya Lovelace, Valériana
Chikoti-Bandua Estes, Theryn Kigvamasudvashti, and Paris Chapman.

In addition to the series episodes you can read reflections from host
Darin Dorsey on this time of reckoning in our movement. This includes
lessons learned and action steps for moving forward from the
PCAR/NSVRC management team in their collective reflection on each
episode.
