Check out the new article, "Here's the Nudge: Collaborative Support Networks to Improve Accessible Sexuality Education," by Nova McGiffert, coordinator of IOD's Healthy Sexuality Project, in the latest issue of The Resource.

NSVRC is committed to continuing the ongoing conversation about the intersection between disability and gender-based violence. For the theme of this issue of The Resource, we emphasize the systemic and cultural failures that make disabled populations face an increased risk of sexual violence. Disability is a broad spectrum, and members of that community come from a wide range of contexts and circumstances that add more complexity and nuance to that experience. This issue does not encompass the full diversity within disability nor does it address every way in which sexual violence can touch this community. We publish this edition of The Resource as just one of many steps we must take to ensure that the experiences of people with disabilities are prioritized and that the work of the sexual violence prevention and education field is built on a foundation of understanding, mutual respect, and a commitment to ensure the safety and dignity of all.

This edition is the third issue of The Resource delivered to readers in a fully digital format as an online magazine. For long-time readers, we hope The Resource online magazine continues to deliver articles and content from across the movement that add value to your work.
