The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Program (SVPRP) educates students about consent and coercion, and promotes community standards for a respectful and safe campus. Through its programs and services, SVPRP fosters individual and collective action to end sexual and relationship violence by:

• Educating students and administrators about the dynamics and effects of sexual assault
• Helping students develop the communication and assessment skills necessary to promote and maintain healthy and intimate relationships
• Advocating for appropriate support for survivors of sexual and relationship violence

Rape Crisis/Anti-Violence Support Center is located at 112 Hewitt Hall (Barnard College Quad), and provides peer counseling, advocacy, and education to survivors and co-survivors of sexual assault, relationship violence, childhood sexual abuse, and other forms of violence.

Men’s Peer Education Program develops prevention strategies and provides educational events and leadership training programs to engage men to end sexual and relationship violence.

Workshops and Events present prevention and risk reduction strategies to  men and women. Programs include the following topics:

• Consent and Coercion
• Dynamics and Effects of Sexual Assault
• How to Help a Friend
• Relationship Violence
• Sexual Assault in LGBTQ Communities

Resource Room offers relevant materials such as books and videos on sexual  violence prevention and response for use by students, faculty, and staff. SVPRP provides referrals to alternate resources for on- and off-campus services.
