Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, known as SAAM. SAAM calls attention to the fact that sexual violence is widespread. We at Oklahoma City Community College are clear in our commitment to join with advocates and communities across the country in taking action to prevent sexual violence.

Our community partner, the YWCA of Oklahoma City is considered an essential service by the State and Federal Government. The YWCA Emergency Shelter and Hotlines will stay open 24/7 to serve victims and their children. If you or someone you know needs help, please call the YWCA hotline at 800-522-7233.
