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.
This edition also marks the inaugural issue of The Resource delivered to readers in a fully digital format as an online magazine. For long-time readers, we hope The Resource online magazine continues to deliver articles and content from across the movement that add value to your work.
