Rape and Sexual Assault Prevention Education and Response:
Sexual assault is a concern on most college campuses nationwide, including at Emory. We are not afraid to engage our campus in dialogue and action regarding what we can do as individuals and as a community to reduce sexual violence. We are also committed to helping survivors of sexual violence as they take steps to heal.
Mission
Sexual Assault Prevention Education and Response at Emory University aims to reduce the occurrence of sexual assault by creating a community intolerant of sexual violence with expectations of communication and respect between and among genders. We strive to empower students to disclose sexual assault and to have access to medical, mental, health and advocacy services.
Response and Support Services:
We provide confidential services to the maximum extent permitted by law. Please contact Aline Jesus Rafi at 404-727-1514 for more information about any of these services.
Accompaniment: Accompaniment and support is available for students meeting with police officers, representatives from the office of student conduct and other university personnel.
