April — Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month
NCUIH recognizes Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month this April and affirms the importance of prevention, survivor support, and culturally grounded healing. American Indian and Alaska Native communities experience disproportionately high rates of sexual violence, underscoring the need for education, advocacy, and accessible support services.
Prevention efforts are strengthened through community education, trauma-informed care, and partnerships that center Native voices and leadership. By sharing resources and promoting supportive services, Urban Indian Organizations and communities can help foster safe environments, support survivors, and advance long-term community wellness.

By raising awareness, encouraging prevention strategies, and promoting access to survivor-centered services, Urban Indian Organizations and communities can help build safer, healthier Native communities.
