Bringing together voices from both the military and civilian communities, the conversation highlighted the power of unity and shared responsibility. Together, we can build a strong alliance—one where men and women stand side by side in the fight to end sexual assault.

May 13-16 the Delaware National Guard Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) team hosted a Continuing Education course for Victim Advocates from DE, MD, VA & NJ to earn required training to renew their certification. Thursday, May 15 the class was joined by more then 20 Commanders, Senior Enlisted Leaders and Junior Noncommissioned Officers from across the Delaware Army and Air National Guard.

Training included jammed packed topics ranging from how to engage Leaders, Airmen and Soldiers in the program, guest speakers to talk about Delaware Domestic Violence Fatalities Incident Review Board and Forensic Nurses from Christiana Hospital and Tidal Healthcare and much more in the middle.

Thursday culminated with an interactive case walkthrough start to “finish” of a Victim making a report to one of the mandatory reporters. This training was made possible with the help and collaboration of the Delaware National Guard Legal, J9 Support Services, Psychological Health and National Guard Bureau Soecial Victims’ Counsel.

Thank you all who promoted, attended and supported the week.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025 the Delaware National Guard Army and 166th Airlift Wing participated in international Denim Day. The Denim Day movement started in 1999 in protest of a 1992 conviction of sexual assault being overturned by the Italian Supreme Court. Simply stated, the argument was that the woman was wearing jeans that were so tight she must have given consent.

Wearing jeans or denim clothing on this day expresses our support for sexual assault survivors. It brings awareness that what a person is wearing does not matter; clear and freely given CONSENT does.

The Delaware National Guard Sexual Assault Prevention and Response - SAPR team is available 24/7 to provide support at (302) 326-SARC (7272).

Thanks go out to all our Delaware National Guard / 166th Airlift Wing members that participated in Teal Tuesday by wearing teal clothing and accessories in observation of SAAPM2025. The color teal is also associated with trust, calmness, and healing, which are considered to be important in the context of sexual violence.
