During this time advocates work to raise awareness about sexual violence and educate communities around the nation about how to prevent sexual assault. The campaign theme for 2019, I Ask, champions the message that asking for consent is a healthy, normal, and necessary part of everyday interac- tions. Sexual Assault Awareness Month is about more than awareness — the ultimate goal is prevention. Since consent is a clear, concrete example of what it takes to end sexual harassment, abuse, and assault, it only made sense that this year's theme center on empowering all of us to put consent into practice. The campaign will champion the power of asking — whether it be asking to hold someone's hand, for permission to share personal information with others, or if a partner is interested in sex. I Ask is the statement by which individuals will demonstrate that asking for consent is a healthy, normal, and necessary part of everyday interactions. I Ask is the statement by which we will uplift the importance of consent and transform it from be- ing prescriptive to empowering. Sexual violence is any type of unwanted sexual contact. It is a broad term that includes rape, incest, child sexual abuse, intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual exploitation, human traffi cking, unwanted sexual contact, sexual harassment, exposure and voyeurism.
