Thank you to the entire UH community for making Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) such a success. As April winds down, please join us for the final SAAM webinars.
On April 24, 3 to 4:30 p.m., the Sex Abuse Treatment Center (SATC) and Hawaiʻi Sexual Assault Response and Training (HSART) will present Being Part of the Solution: Sexual Violence Prevention, Strategies, and Response. This webinar was curated for UH students, and it will explore fundamental information about sexual violence, as well as topics related to sexting, sextortion, and nonconsensual pornography. This presentation will also review strategies for personal safety, bystander intervention, ways to respond when others share their experience with sexual violence, and local resources available to survivors.

For the final SAAM 2023 webinar, on April 27, noon to 1:30 p.m., Dr. Nikki Cristobal will present Missing & Murdered Native Hawaiian Women & Girls Report. Dr. Cristobal will shed light on “the invisible crisis” of murdered and missing Native Hawaiian wāhine, who experience sexual abuse, sex trafficking, domestic violence, and go missing at disproportionately high rates. Dr. Cristobal will share her work on “Holoi ā nalo Wāhine ‘Ōiwi: Missing and Murdered Native Hawaiian Women and Girls Task Force Report (Part 1)” and offer insights about this crisis, the causes behind it, proposed solutions, and updates on new research.
