Prevention Initiatives

The Sexual Violence Prevention and Education team offers a variety of innovative initiatives and best practices to educate and build awareness around complex issues of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, gender-based harassment or bullying, and stalking. Our goals are to:

Develop education and prevention strategies to broaden the awareness of the rape culture, and to decrease the incidence of sexual harassment, including sexual assault, dating or domestic violence, gender-based harassment or bullying, and stalking on the NYUS campus.

– Create a safer campus environment through participation in policy development, advocacy, and lobbying efforts.

– Serve as a referral source to campus and community services for sexual assault survivors and concerned others.

– Encourage active involvement in prevention efforts by NYUS students, faculty, staff, and community members.

– Provide a networking system for alliance members to work effectively with each other on campus, and to coordinate efforts with other colleges and universities.
