Stop sexual violence before it starts.

About 1 in 5 women have experienced rape or attempted rape in their lifetime. About 1 in 15 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
• Provide opportunities to empower and support girls and women
• Support victims/survivors to lessen harms
• Create protective environments

It is important to monitor and evaluate your efforts while the field of violence prevention continues to evolve.
