	EVC: It's Not About Sex

Envisioning Communities Without Sexual Violence

Sexual violence is a public health problem - one that is recognized by both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Prevention Institute. These public health institutions are at the forefront of promoting a public health approach to sexual violence, one that incorporates primary prevention, or taking action to prevent health and social problems before their onset.

Photos - EVC: It's Not About Sex

The NYC Alliance Against Sexual Assault and The Education Video Center - EVC were proud to present the documentary screening It's Not About Sex.

The documentary takes a fresh look at the prevalence of sexual assault in our contemporary society. Shocked by the statistic that more than half of all rapes happen to people under 18, student producers search for the roots of the violence. They examine why many survivors of sexual crimes are afraid to report them. On their journey to understand this complex issue, they talk to people from all walks of life, from sex crimes prosecutors and anti-rape activists, to people in the sex industry. Producers challenge their own assumptions, while calling for society to take prevention seriously at an earlier age. The screening took place on Thursday, August 2nd from 1:30-3:30pm.
