A teal Awareness Ribbon intertwined with the Pentagon highlight the DOWs commitment to Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR). SAPRO works jointly with the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force programs to prevent sexual assault and provide world class care to victims. Gold is emblematic of excellence and high ideals. The gold laurel branches are illustrative of the Departments commitment to partnering with the Services to reach their goals. The three columns represent the three program elements of prevention, victim-care, and system accountability. The Old Glory Blue background is associated with the national colors, representing the five Armed Services. Blue is symbolic of loyalty, reliability, and trustworthiness.
