In honor of April representing Sexual Assault Activism Month, the University of Iowa Libraries and the Rape Victim Advocacy Program (RVAP) came together to offer you a virtual library. There you can find a reading list of ebooks pertaining to sexual assault on college campuses in addition to a list of publications targeted toward a professional audience. Many more books on sexual assault are available in InfoHawk+. Try searching on terms such as rape; intimate partner violence; sexual harassment of women; or, sexual abuse victims. Talk with a librarian by chat, email, phone, or through a virtual consultation if you would like help finding more materials.

RVAP provides free, confidential and trauma-informed services to anyone directly or indirectly impacted by sexual violence in Cedar, Des Moines, Henry, Iowa, Johnson, Lee, Washington, and Van Buren counties. Anyone includes but is not limited to individuals of any age, gender, identity, culture, etc. Sexual violence is any sexual act committed against someone without that person’s freely given consent. This includes but is not limited to rape, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, sexual exploitation, etc.

Though Sexual Assault Activism Month is coming to a close, RVAP‘s services and the RVAP virtual library will continue to be here for you.
