April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and Emory organizations have scheduled a full slate of events to educate and empower the campus community.

The Respect Program has compiled a centralized calendar of events, ranging from discussions and films to the RespectCon 2015 conference on April 10 and Denim Day on April 22.

Respect Program leaders also emphasize the importance of self-care when confronting sexual assault issues.

"While we hope to see you at many of these amazing events, this is emotional work," the program notes on its website. "Self-care is important if we are to sustain this movement to end violence."
