We know that this is a very difficult time in our community and many are hurting. In the Women's Center, we support all survivors of sexual violence. Although difficult and complicated, it is necessary to acknowledge that responses to sexual violence can also be racialized. We believe there is no end to sexual violence without racial justice. Our second image is from Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape. We encourage you to read more about the intersections between sexual and racial violence at the links in our bio. We will be reposting campus resources such as @wfusafe, @wfucounselingcenter, and ODI offices. We are here for you.
