About this Project
The Center for the Study and Prevention of Gender-Based Violence — housed in the Department of Women and Gender Studies— is an interdisciplinary, feminist, intersectional collaborative that integrates scholarship with community activism. A community of scholars and practitioners, the Center generates evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies to impact policy that is implemented locally, regionally and nationally.
The Center is dedicated to the study of, prevention of and support for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, human trafficking and other forms of gender-based violence. Its scholarship seeks to document, investigate and ameliorate the causes and effects of gender-based violence. One of its unique functions is the commitment to workforce development as a distinct prevention strategy. As such, the Center provides training, informed by pioneering research, to students and professionals for victim-service work and prevention practices.
Donor Impact: How your support makes a difference!
Your donation will help us support the professional development of undergraduate and graduate research assistants, interns and externs committed to the study and prevention of gender-based violence. Funding research on gender-based violence enables students and faculty at the University of Delaware to generate valuable insights into the prevalence, patterns and consequences of gender-based violence. This knowledge is essential for developing effective prevention strategies, support services and policy interventions. Thank you for your generosity!
