Opening the Door: An Advocate’s Guide to Housing and Sexual Violence

Abstract

The occurrence of sexual violence is related to one’s access to safe and affordable housing. This is true for both sexual violence perpetration and victimization. Oppression can both heighten risk and compound the barriers that sexual violence victims and survivors encounter in housing arenas. This guide is intended to equip advocates with information and resources to support their housing advocacy efforts. Information on housing as both a sexual violence prevention and intervention advocacy area is explored.
