Interpersonal Violence Prevention

WE HAVE MOVED. PLEASE VISIT US AT tx.ag/uTsWwKr

Interpersonal violence refers to threats or acts of physical, sexual, psychological, verbal, financial, digital, and legal violence and abuse. These acts can be committed by any person with the purpose of exerting control and/or causing significant harm. Interpersonal violence is almost always driven by power and control.

Interpersonal violence is prevalent in every community and affects all people regardless of age, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. Rates of victimization are higher for women (especially women of color), members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals between the ages of 18-34.

Reporting

Any complaint of sexual discrimination, sexual harassment, or sexual violence can be reported to the Title IX Coordinator, Jennifer Smith (979.845.0977). Visit Step In Stand Up for more details on how to report.

Health Promotion and the Offices of the Dean of Student Life recognize that many people choose not to disclose their abuse for many reasons. Barriers to reporting can include fear of retaliation, feeling at fault or ashamed, inability to access resources, and fear of not being believed. We believe you, and we support you.
