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.

Safe, affordable, and stable housing is an important protective factor against both sexual violence perpetration and victimization. Housing instability can affect anyone in our community, but especially those who have had trauma or violence as part of their life history.
In 2023, alongside the continued global pandemic, the U.S. witnessed a troubling increase in rates of homelessness and housing insecurity. Economic instability faced further pressure due the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in addition to job loss, wage stagnation, and rising living costs. In a recent report,
