NSVRC Director Yolanda Edrington discusses the lasting importance of the theme for this year's edition of The Resource, "Racial Equity in the Movement".

NSVRC is committed to continuing the ongoing conversation about racial equity in the sexual violence movement. For the theme of this issue of The Resource, we emphasize that racism, and all forms of oppression, are inextricably tied to sexual violence. Racial equity must be at the forefront of our efforts to respond to and prevent sexual harassment, assault, and abuse.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) was awarded $500,000 as one of two Sexual Assault Capacity Building Centers that will work to improve trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive, and culturally relevant services for survivors of dating violence, domestic violence, and sexual assault nationwide.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just released a new report, The National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey: 2016/2017 Report on Victimization by Sexual Identity.
