2026 Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month  

  

The Army’s theme for the 2026 SAAPM campaign is “Step Forward. Prevent. Report. Advocate.” This theme underscores the Army’s commitment to safeguarding the well-being of our Soldiers, Families and Army Civilians by reinforcing a culture grounded in respect, accountability and trust.

Prevention remains the foundation of SAAPM. Throughout the month, the Army encourages conversations that build understanding of consent, healthy relationships and bystander intervention. These efforts empower individuals to identify risk factors, challenge inappropriate behavior and support peers before situations escalate. Education and awareness activities help normalize intervention and reinforce shared responsibility for preventing harmful conduct.

SAAPM also highlights the importance of reporting and advocacy. The campaign reinforces that victims have options and deserve access to confidential, professional and compassionate support. Clear information about reporting pathways and available services helps reduce barriers to seeking help and builds confidence in the system. Advocacy is emphasized to ensure Survivors are treated with dignity, respect and care while maintaining their autonomy and choices.

Leadership engagement is central to the success of SAAPM. Leaders are expected to model appropriate behavior, foster climates of trust and ensure prevention is prioritized year-round. When leaders actively participate in prevention messaging and activities, they reinforce accountability and demonstrate commitment to Soldier well-being.

The Army’s approach to SAAPM aligns with broader prevention efforts that address related behaviors and risk factors that contribute to harmful climates. By integrating sexual assault prevention with other readiness initiatives, the Army strengthens its ability to promote healthy relationships and positive command climates.

To support SAAPM events and activities, the Directorate of Prevention, Resilience and Readiness has developed a range of print and digital materials, including fact sheets, posters and social media posts.

These materials are available at no cost on the DPRR Products on Demand site for use by SHARP professionals, command teams and public affairs offices.
