# DLA Troop Support to host interactive events during Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month 

By Maurice Matthews IIDLA Troop Support

                PHILADELPHIA  –              
April 1 begins Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support will host several events and activities throughout the month at Naval Support Activity Philadelphia. 

“I am focusing on how overt and convert sexual harassment can and does lead to sexual assault,” said Gina Ingrao, the DLA Troop Support Sexual Assault response coordinator. “We want to intervene and prevent sexual assaults from happening at the first sign.” 

 “We are hosting an in-person, interactive event, whereas the last few years have been entirely virtual,” she said. “I want out workforce to see the potential ways to intervene, and the reactions that interventions may elicit.” 

“I strongly urge Troop Support employees to attend the interactive workshop and show support for Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month,” said DLA Troop Support Deputy Commander Kishayra J. Lambert. “Sexual harassment and assault happen regardless of race, age, gender, or social standing. At the end of the day, if a person is questioned about an incident: ‘I didn’t know,’ will not be a sufficient answer.” 

 

**Bystander Intervention Training provided by Pure Praxis **

Pure Praxis uses a team of skilled and diverse Performance Facilitators and Actor-Advocates to explore topics that are both complex and sensitive in order to empower audiences to become part of the solution. 

Building 6 will host 2 sessions on April 6. The first at 10-11 a.m and the final from 2-3 p.m. 

 

**Lunch & Learn: How to Support Those Effected by Sexual Violence **

Join Gina Ingrao on April 20 over Zoom starting at noon for 30minutes. Links will be sent out over email. 

 

**Teal Tuesdays (Every Tuesday in April)** 

Show your support for SAAPM by wearing teal. Whether it’s a full teal outfit or showing off a teal ribbon, your participation represents that you stand against sexual violence. Contact DLA Troop Support SARC for free teal ribbons to wear. 

 

**Denim Day **

Join millions of people across the world by wearing jeans with a purpose on April 26. This day is supporting the longest running sexual violence prevention and education campaign in history. 

 

“My door is always open. If you need to talk, I am here to help,” said Ingrao. 

 

Sexual assault can be reported 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Employees can contact Ingrao at 267-253-8953 or the DLA SAPR Hotline at 1-800-841-0937 for resources or to make a report of sexual assault or abuse.
