En nombre de todos los sobrevivientes, lamentamos la decisión tomada hoy por la Corte de Apelaciones de Nueva York, la cual anuló por 4 a 3 la condena de Harvey Weinstein en 2020 por delitos sexuales graves.
Esta decisión refleja los enormes desafíos a los que se enfrentan las sobrevivientes a la hora de obtener justicia a través del sistema de justicia criminal. Asimismo, muestra lo difícil que resulta exigir que las personas que cometen abusos, agresiones y acoso sexuales rindan cuentas de

We have talked about how to use evaluation for good, but we want to expand that conversation to talk about how evaluation, if approached through a social justice lens, can help to build community. First, let’s think about why folks evaluate their programs in the first place. Sometimes it is just because it is a requirement; but in our evaluation toolkit, we share how evaluation can help support prevention by:
measuring the change we seek to create in the world,
helping us see where we are doing well and where we need to make improvements,
telling the story of our work,
informing strategic

We are disheartened on behalf of all survivors following the 4-3 decision today by the New York Court of Appeals overturning Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges.
This decision reflects the vast challenges survivors face in seeking justice through the criminal legal system. It underscores how elusive accountability is for people who commit sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. This is especially true when people who commit abuse are in a position of power, with

As we reflect on the #SAAM2024 theme, we recognize that to build connected communities we must work in solidarity with others. Here is a sneak peek at data from NSVRC’s 2024 National Strengths and Needs Assessment. Organizations working to prevent sexual violence at the community-level must learn what issues are important to community members and find ways to partner with others to address connected needs. Prevention research highlights the potential for prevention strategies and approaches that address multiple forms of violence (Dills et al., 2019).
We have seen some notable changes in how

Where is the guidance for conversations about concerning sexual behavior among college students? Where are the conversations about a wide range of sexual behaviors, intentions, motivations, and situations?
While there are no easy answers to such complex student interactions, there is a piece of the puzzle that has been missing from our conversations. This new NSVRC resource Let’s Talk dives into these complex situations and offers concrete information about how to talk to a friend or peer when you are concerned about their behaviors. It

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is a time for survivors, advocates, and allies to come together, spread awareness, and promote the prevention of sexual violence. This year, our campaign “Building Connected Communities” emphasizes that creating environments free of sexual violence is only possible when we approach the issue on a community level.
College campuses are an excellent place to commemorate SAAM as it is an opportunity to transform campus culture and increase awareness about sexual violence. Faculty, professors, Title IX offices, public safety, student media, and everyday
