Prevention Institute will facilitate a three-part learning series for local health jurisdictions and their community and government partners on applying racial justice principles and practices to build community safety.
 
Over the three sessions, participants will have opportunities to discuss timely and relevant issues, engage in intersession learning activities to apply the content to their work, and begin to develop racial justice work plans.
 
This Learning Series is made possible by support from The Langeloth Foundation and The CARESTAR Foundation.

New Report: A Health Equity Approach to Preventing Sexual Violence

“Rape is fundamental to the problems we see in the world. I would put it as the highest priority for us to address, because this is where the root of life breaks down and is passed on intergenerationally.” –Lyla June, Indigenous environmental scientist, community organizer, and musician

Across the country, people are advancing health equity in their sexual violence prevention work by:
  • Elevating community leadership and resilience
  • Creating spaces for healing in prevention efforts
  • Facilitating internal organizational change
  • Addressing underlying factors that contribute to violence and safety
  • Partnering across fields and movements

Prevention Institute and National Sexual Violence Resource Center have released a new report entitled A Health Equity Approach to Preventing Sexual Violence. It details a health equity approach to preventing sexual violence, which means addressing the factors that contribute to violence and safety and factors that expose some communities—especially communities that face historic and present day oppression—to higher rates of sexual violence. The report shares specific local examples that use strategies from the CDC’s Sexual Violence Prevention Technical Package in different cultural and community contexts.

By leading with health equity, we can work together to build collective power and create the kind of equitable, respectful communities we want to live in.
