This April marks the 25th anniversary of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, with the theme 鈥�25 Years Stronger: Looking Back, Moving Forward.鈥� This month we take the time to honor survivors, raise awareness, and recommit ourselves to building a future where sexual violence is no longer a part of our communities.

It鈥檚 a moment to reflect on how far we鈥檝e come, and to be intentional about the work still ahead.

In New Mexico, that work is both urgent and deeply personal. Data shows that more than half of people in our state have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. Behind that number are our friends, our family members, our coworkers and our neighbors. Prevention isn鈥檛 abstract 鈥� it鈥檚 about protecting the people we love and creating the communities we want to live in.

At the New Mexico Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs, prevention is at the heart of everything we do: We all have a responsibility to do our part to stop violence before it happens.

Over the years, advocates, survivors and communities across the country have done the hard work to shift the conversation 鈥� breaking silence, challenging stigma and building systems of support. For 42 years in New Mexico, we鈥檝e built systems from the ground up, most recently with the creation of the statewide Sexual Assault Helpline. Meaningful change happens when communities are engaged, informed and empowered.

Across our state, our coalition works alongside local programs, schools, tribal communities and partners to build safer environments. That includes education with young people about healthy relationships, consent and respect. It means working with adults, from parents to educators to community leaders, to recognize warning signs and take action early. And it means strengthening community norms so that violence is never excused, minimized or ignored.

Prevention also means addressing the root causes of violence. Sexual violence does not happen in a vacuum 鈥� it is connected to broader issues like power, inequality and silence. When we invest in prevention, we are investing in communities where everyone has dignity, autonomy and the ability to live free from harm.

This work is happening, and needs to continue. In August of 2025, NMCSAP distributed $1.5 million in grants from the Violence Intervention Program Fund. The fund, created by the Legislature, proves that often, the most effective solutions are the simplest. Prevention programs built by our communities work.

When young people learn about consent and boundaries, they are more likely to build healthy relationships. When communities speak openly about sexual violence, stigma decreases and accountability increases. When we equip people with the tools to act 鈥� whether that鈥檚 stepping in when something feels wrong or supporting a friend 鈥� we create a culture where harm is less likely to occur.

As we mark 25 years of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we honor the progress that has brought us here. 鈥淟ooking Back, Moving Forward鈥� also calls us to action.

Each of us has a role to play. We can start conversations with the people in our lives. We can challenge harmful attitudes and behaviors when we see them. We can support local programs doing this work every day. We can advocate for policies and funding that prioritize prevention, not just response.

The vision is clear: a New Mexico where future generations grow up knowing safety, respect and care as the norm 鈥� not the exception.

Prevention is possible. And it starts with all of us.
