The YWCA Sexual Assault Center at Stanford is a partnership between Stanford University and the YWCA Rape Crisis Center of Silicon Valley, which works to assist students, staff, faculty, and other Stanford affiliates with the difficult issue of sexual assault.
Highly trained advocates meet with and assist survivors and/or the family and friends of survivors regarding their options for responding to a sexual assault. They help coordinate easy access to a wide range of campus services related to the aftermath of an assault, such as medical assistance, law enforcement, legal and judicial services, and emotional support.
The YWCA also enhances prevention programs related to sexual assault, dating violence, domestic abuse and stalking. Students will continue to be actively involved as peer educators, and activists.
| Sexual Assault can happen to anyone of any age, at any time, or any place. Sexual assault does not discriminate and affects men, women, and children of all ages, races, ethnicities, socio-economic backgrounds, and sexual orientations.
