# DLA Distribution Commander delivers SAAPM message

By  DLA Distribution Public AffairsDLA Distribution Public Affairs

                NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa.  –              
The Department of Defense recognizes April as Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, a time to focus the attention to the prevalence of sexual misconduct within our communities. This month-long period brings awareness of the impact sexual assault has on our workforce. The theme for SAAPM 2023 is “Step Forward. Prevent. Report. Advocate.” This is a call to action encouraging DLA Distribution personnel at all levels to use their personal strength to bolster prevention, increase reporting, and promote advocacy to ensure a safer environment for all.Since the establishment of the DLA Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program in 2016, we have made significant strides to promote awareness, and institute robust prevention initiatives to cultivate an organizational culture where sexual assault is never tolerated. Acts of sexual violence disrupts the lives and performance of all service members, civilian employees and endangers our ability to support the warfighter.A strong primary prevention strategy is key to eliminating sexual violence. There is power in numbers, so let us continue to unite to eliminate sexual assault. We are all leaders so we must work together to educate our DLA Distribution community about sexual assault prevention and speak out against harmful attitudes and actions.I, along with Mr. Knight, thank you and your families for all you do to support the organization, our Warfighters, and our great Nation.

                DLA leadership has made prevention of and response to sexual assault a top priority.                            SAAPM 2017                            DLA leadership has made prevention of and response to sexual assault a top priority.            SHARE IMAGE:Download ImageImage DetailsPhoto By: Paul CrankVIRIN: 170410-D-YE683-001
