Sexual Violence

What would it mean to understand sexual violence in a way that prepares you to create real change? In this course, you will dig into the personal, social, and cultural forces that shape both the experience of sexual harm and the responses that follow. You will explore survivor impact, community healing, media narratives, legal questions, and the systems that often help or fail people who have experienced harm. Through memoirs, research, case studies, and conversations about activism and policy, you will learn how sexual violence is shaped by identity, history, and power.
