National Sexual Violence Resource Center

NSVRC, the national division of Respect Together, is in the process of reviewing and updating our website and because of that, some resources are not available on the site. All resources are still available upon request. Respect Together is aware of the executive orders but has not received official guidance on how they will directly impact us. We remain committed to our mission: to work to eliminate all forms of sexual violence and to advocate for the rights and needs of victims of sexual assault.

This year, Sexual Assault Awareness Month will be extra special for our organization. Respect Together will be celebrating its 50th anniversary, and it also marks 25 years since they created NSVRC! To the changemakers, advocates, and allies who have contributed to and supported our work for survivors over the years, “thank you” will never be enough. This April, we would like YOU to join us as we commemorate this milestone and look towards the future. Our anniversary event will take place on April 30, 2025 at 6:00 PM at the Hershey Country Club. Register by April 25, 2025! Together, let’s celebrate where we’ve been and dream of where our movement can go over the next 50 years.

In honor of last month's observances of National Stalking Awareness Month and Home Office Safety and Security Week, we will look into how in-person and cyber-stalking impacts remote employees and what employers should do to protect employee safety. Follow Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center to learn more about this issue.

This week has proved just how powerful our movement is. When the federal funding freeze threatened critical resources on Tuesday, you spoke out, showed up, and stood with us.  Together, our voices played a role in the funding freeze being rescinded. We are especially grateful to those who donated and to the incredible rape crisis center staff and advocates who spoke with the media to highlight the urgency of this issue. Seeing our community rise to the occasion showed the strength and dedication of this movement We also know that this is not the end of our fight. Due to decreased VOCA funding, so many of our partners at state coalitions, rape crisis centers, and hotlines are still struggling. Let’s keep the energy we demonstrated on Tuesday throughout the year and make 2025 a period of continued advocacy for survivors and those who serve them. Together, we can continue to make a difference in our communities and combat sexual abuse, assault, and harassment. In Solidarity, NSVRC 

Over the past several years, we have seen a dramatic decrease in funding for programs and organizations working in the anti-sexual violence movement. The recent federal funding freeze has the potential to impact state, local, and national organizations doing the much-needed work for survivors across the country. While we do not know what our future holds, we do know our partners at coalitions, rape crisis centers, and hotlines will struggle to operate without federal support. Organizations working to support survivors and prevent sexual abuse, assault, and harassment are critical to the safety and well-being of our communities. In these uncertain times, there is one way you can help: DONATE. Survivors and advocates working on their behalf have never needed our support more. Consider donating to your local rape crisis center or the coalitions working in your state or territory. We appreciate those who are moved to support our partners aiding survivors in communities impacted by disasters (like the fires currently raging in Southern California), by making a donation.

What a great booklist to get us started in 2025!
