Stop Sexual Violence Before it starts.
About 1 in 5 women have experienced rape or attempted rape in their lifetime.
About 1 in 14 men have been made to penetrate someone else during their lifetime.
Stopping sexual violence before it happens is a CDC priority. It can be prevented.
CDC has developed a technical package to help states and communities use the best available evidence to prevent sexual violence.
STOP Sexual Violence:
- Promote social norms that protect against violence
- Teach skills to prevent sexual violence
- Support victims/survivors to lessen harms
- Provide opportunities to empower and support girls and women
- Create protective environments
It is important to monitor and evaluate your efforts while the field of violence prevention continues to evolve.
