Prevention/education programs for middle school, high school, and college students designed to decrease the prevalence of sexual violence and abuse and encourage young people to become “helpful allies” and safely intervene when they are witnesses in situations in which they could help prevent a peer from being victimized. Professional training for police, prosecutors, medical and mental health practitioners, school personnel, and other victim services providers to enhance the treatment victims receive wherever they turn for help. Public education to increase understanding about rape and child sexual abuse, change discriminatory attitudes and practices, and foster support for victim services and prevention efforts. Public/private partnerships and innovative service delivery models that encourage victims to report sexual abuse, enhance their access to services, and support justice and healing.
