April Diversity Message 

The month of April is a series of Holidays and Events important on a world-wide basis and to employees at our workplaces. 

National Child Abuse Prevention Month (U.S.) 
First designated in 1983, dedicated to supporting families, raising awareness and preventing child abuse. President Barack Obama's 2016 Presidential Proclamation states "giving every child a chance to succeed and ensuring every child grows up in a safe, stable and nurturing environment free from abuse and neglect." 

National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (U.S.) 
Supports an annual campaign to raise public awareness about sexual assault and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence. This is coordinated by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center working with the states and other organizations. 

Passover       March 30-April 7 
Jewish people have celebrated this Holiday since 1300 BC.  Passover is the day in the lunar calendar on which the Israelites were freed and departed from Egypt. 

Easter      April 1/ April 8 
This year, Christian people celebrate Christ's Resurrection, on April 1 (Western-Protestants and Catholics) and those in Orthodox Churches (Eastern) on April 8. 

World Autism Awareness Day     April 2 
Aims to spotlight the hurdles that people with autism - and others living with autism- face every day. 

50th Anniversary of Rev.Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination     April 4
