What Is Sexual Violence?
“Here we talk about sexual violence as defined by women. Though, sexual violence happens to men and children, the majority of victims of sexual violence are women. To undo violence against men and children, the first step is to undo violence against women. That’s why we talk about sexual violence against women from a woman’s perspective.”
Safety Planning for Immigrant Survivors of Domestic and Sexual Violence
“It is important for advocates to understand how to: help immigrant survivors become aware of their rights; identify immigration remedies for victims, including special VAWA provisions around confidentiality; prepare enhanced safety plans for immigrant survivors; and increase meaningful access to services for immigrants and survivors with limited English proficiency.”
Understanding the Nexus of Sexual Violence and the Science of Addiction
“Studies of interpersonal trauma and substance abuse disorders show a strong association between the two. Drugs change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to quit. Fortunately, researchers know more than ever about how drugs affect the brain.”
Connecting Communities to Prevent Sexual Violence
“In this episode, NSVRC’s Prevention Team talks about the importance of community connectedness. Community-level prevention work moves us beyond individual approaches – it’s about collective action, building partnerships, and creating access to resources to support community health.”
Male Survivors Of Sexual Abuse Struggle To Find Treatment
“The CDC estimates that 1 in 6 men have been sexually victimized at some point. It’s a largely silent epidemic despite revelations of abuse by Catholic priests and Boy Scout leaders. Not confronting this issue only makes recovery harder. Rachel Rock brings us one man’s search for support.”
Gardens for Growing Healthy Communities
“A recently formed collaborative, Gardens for Growing Healthy Communities studies how community gardens in low- to moderate-income neighborhoods in Denver impact community health and translates findings for stakeholders. The project works to foster community well-being in inner-city neighborhoods by turning vacant lots into community gardens.”
