SAAM at Longwood

Countway Community

Every voice matters. Every action counts. 

Countway marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) in April as part of an ongoing commitment to support awareness, education, and survivor-centered resources. We invite you to join us for a series of events that center survivors, foster connection, and strengthen our shared commitment to safety, respect, and community. 

25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward

April 2026 marks the official 25th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year’s SAAM theme, “25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward,” celebrates the resilience of survivors and the communities that have worked for change.

    All Month, Countway Library Info Desk 
    Longwood TIXRCs and Countway Librarians are collaborating to curate a selection of books that brings together diverse perspectives on the topic of sexual violence. Titles on display range from memoirs to novels, poetry, research studies, journals, and even graphic novels.
