The Resource: Sexual Violence and Sexual Health Outside the Gender Binary
"The Resource: Sexual Violence and Sexual Health Outside the Gender Binary" White background with blue circular sex symbols.

NSVRC is committed to continuing the ongoing conversation about gender equity in the sexual violence prevention movement, especially as it relates to gender minorities. For the theme of this issue of The Resource, we emphasize that the systemic, social, and interpersonal oppression against transgender, non-binary, intersex, and other gender minorities have the direct consequence of increased risk of sexual violence and poor sexual health for these communities. Health equity is very much a part of our movement, and it is up to us to help bring everyone to the table to ensure good health and physical safety is achievable for all.
