     Pennsylvania Rape Crisis Centers have been working to prevent child sexual abuse for over 40 years. Many of the original prevention programs were carefully created with the best of intentions: to give children information and tools to prevent child sexual abuse. Now, decades later we have additional research and information that informs our approach to child sexual abuse prevention. This technical assistance bulletin is an overview of themes in current best practices for child sexual abuse prevention. More >

  • Racial & Sexual Violence Pyramid
    • Public Awareness
    • Brochures/Booklets/Resource lists
     This graphic depicts the connection and overlap between racial and sexual violence. The left side of the pyramid shows examples of sexual violence, and the right side shows examples of racial violence in five different categories: attitudes and beliefs, individual acts of prejudice, institutional discrimination, violence, and death. The examples outside the pyramid show where there is overlap between racial and sexual violence in these same categories. Attitudes and beliefs are the foundation that continue to uphold both individual acts of prejudice, and institutional and systemic discrimination, that contribute to violence and death. This is not an exhaustive list of examples, but is a starting point to help others understand the connection. More >

     With the passage of House Bill 962, criminal and civil statutes of limitation have been extended for certain sex crimes. The new law took effect when Governor Tom Wolf signed it, on November 26, 2019. This means there will be more time to prosecute and file civil claims against people who commit certain sex crimes—going forward. Victims may have more time to seek justice and remedies within the criminal and civil realms. More >
