Penn Violence Prevention (PVP) engages the Penn community in the prevention of sexual violence, relationship violence, stalking, and sexual harassment on campus. We foster collaborative relationships across campus to ensure a survivor-centered, multi-faceted approach to support services and primary prevention. Through collective community action, we are committed to ending interpersonal violence by addressing gender inequity, social injustice, and oppression through outreach and education.

Penn Violence Prevention is open and available to support you during this time. All campus and confidential resources remain available to students.

  • The word “stalking” has made its way into our everyday vocabulary, oftentimes used by people to describe their behaviors on social media. We encourage folks to reflect on how the use of this language is harmful to those who are experiencing stalking and make an effort to unlearn the misuse of this word.
