As the saying goes, the news never stops — but there’s a lot of it out there, and all of it doesn’t always pertain to our readers. In this weekly news roundup, we’ll cover the top news stories that matter most to our diversity focused audience.
1. Sexual Assault Awareness Month Campaign Focuses on Building Safe Online Spaces
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and this year’s campaign from the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) focuses on “Building Safe Online Spaces Together.”
The organization’s 2021 campaign message was “We Can Build Safe Online Spaces” and 2022’s “Building Safe Online Spaces Together” is a continuation of that message, which calls on people to “practice digital consent, intervene when we see harmful content and behaviors, and promote online communities that value safety and respect,” NSVRC said.
