Thanks to your help, the Sexual Violence Prevention Association (SVPA) has been able to complete the research needed for the SVPA Score!
The SVPA Score is the first and only assessment for campus sexual violence practices. The SVPA Score is based on machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, and statistical analysis. We've completed the research for our algorithm which analyzes universities’ policies, programs, and procedures for supporting survivors and preventing sexual violence.
The Scores are published which empowers students to choose the school that will best protect them. The SVPA Score also empowers universities to improve campus safety by increasing survivor support and sexual violence prevention.
We spoke with Sarah, a university student currently attending college in New England. (Trigger Warning: Campus sexual violence and r*pe).
Sarah said, "First semester freshman year I was sexually assaulted at a frat party. I didn't know what to do. I tried to get help from [my university] but they didn't do anything. I couldn't even get a counselor or therapist. Plus, I found out this fraternity is known around campus for rampant sexual abuse. Why wasn't I protected? Why is this frat still allowed on campus? I wish I had known that [my university] wouldn't keep me safe. That's why the SVPA Score is so important. It will protect other students from campus sexual assault."
Your continued support empowers us to prevent sexual violence for thousands of students across the country. Thank you!
