Sexual Violence in Disasters

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center has a new eLearning course available: Sexual Violence in Disasters. As with their other eLearning offerings, these are available at no cost, and can be completed on the user’s timeframe, so it’s a great source for continuing education.

From the site:

This interactive online course addresses the increased vulnerability to sexual violence that can occur during and after disasters. Participants will learn about the connections between oppression, sexual violence, and disasters. With case studies from Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, and examples from other recent calamities around the world, the module highlights the need for pre-planning to prevent and respond to sexual violence in future disasters.
