RPEP provides prevention education and response services for all forms of sexual
violence - rape and other forms of sexual assault, abusive relationships and stalking.
Services include crisis counseling, help with decisions on reporting to law enforcement,
answers to questions about medical and legal procedures, help with academic and
housing problems, and referrals to long-term counseling, support groups, and other
resources. Incidents may be recent or in the past. Services are free and confidential
and available to women and men, including lesbians and gay men, and those who identify
as transgendered. RPEP offers education through the peer education program Students
Stopping Rape, and through trainings, lectures and programs conducted by professional
staff. We talk about facts, laws, and statistics. We challenge the myths in our
culture that blame the victim. We explain the patterns observed in abusive relationships
and how to help friends caught in those patterns. We give students suggestions for
reducing their risks and suggestions for changing the culture that allows sexual
violence to happen. Self-defense workshops are also available. For more information,
check out Web site or come in and talk with us. RPEP is located in the Women's Center,
