Starting today, we focus on sexual assault awareness for one month. It's not enough time, in my opinion. However, it still gives us an opportunity to speak out, to reach out and to educate. That is my goal for the month of April 2009.
You will see MANY blogs and bulletins from me during this time. PLEASE read and repost them as there might be someone out there who needs to see them. We are all here to help each other.
Please check out Vanilla Heart Publishing's awesome blog about SAA Month:

Also, I have a personal offer. I have a few copies of Voices of Survivors (our anthology) as well as some of my other books. Here's the deal. The Voices anthology MUST be sold at cover cost. 50% goes towards covering the tremendous price of printing, the other 50% goes to help charities that will help other survivors. That's $14.95 cover price, but you know it's going to a good cause. I will also personally sign the book for you :) As well, I will sell the copies I have of my other books at 10% off! Again, I will sign those, and proceeds will go to help those who need it. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PRICES DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, check out www.rapehelp.org for more information, resources and a way to e-mail me if you prefer not to contact me here.
Thank you all so much. Let's all make a difference during Sexual Assault Awareness month! Why? Because sexual assault is EVERYONE'S problem!

You are right - one month is NOT enought time but at least it is a forum so that we can emphasize the importance, spread some prevention tips and hopefully foster understanding and healing.
Thank you for all of your efforts in the so very crucial topic.
By the way folks - Namid's books are excellent!
