HILL AIR FORCE BASE, Utah -- As April unfolds, Hill AFB stands united in its commitment to raise awareness and prevent sexual assault.
The theme for this year’s Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) is “Step Forward. Prevent. Report. Advocate.”
It’s a powerful call to action, urging us all to make a difference by promoting prevention, encouraging reporting, and advocating for a safer community within the Department of Defense.
