National Sexual Violence Resource Center

National Sexual Violence Resource Center

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) identifies, develops and disseminates resources regarding all aspects of sexual violence prevention and intervention.[1] Working in collaboration with state and territory sexual assault coalitions, representatives from underserved populations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[2], the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women[3], and a host of community-based and national allied projects, the NSVRC provides national leadership to address and prevent sexual violence.

Activities include training and technical assistance, referrals, consultation, systems advocacy, online tools, resource library, capacity-building, integrating research findings with community-based projects, coordinating Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and sponsoring national conferences and events. The NSVRC was founded by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape in 2000.

Although based in the U.S, the NSVRC offers technical assistance and resources that assist communities and programs on a global scale[4].
