STOP SV: A Technical Package to Prevent Sexual Violence

In April 2016, CDC released STOP SV: A Technical Package to Prevent Sexual Violence to help states and communities prioritize efforts to prevent sexual violence.  The strategies in this package include those with a focus on preventing sexual violence from happening in the first place, as well as approaches to lessen the immediate and long-term harms of sexual violence. Strategies are intended to work in combination and reinforce each other. The technical package describes the approaches to advance each strategy and the evidence behind them. In this web conference, we will explore how the technical package can support prevention program decision-making, identify resources to support prevention practice, and examine potential sectors to involve in sexual violence prevention.
