Surviving Sexual Violence

September 04, 2025

Over half of adult women and roughly 1 in 3 adult men report unwanted sexual contact in their lifetime in the US.  The Sexual Violence Resource Center (RCC), formerly known as the Rape Crisis Center, has been providing critical services for survivors of sexual assault, incest, harassment, and sexual exploitation for over fifty years for those in Dane County.  Rachel Bledsoe, Director of Development at RCC, speaks with host Tony Castañeda about the services available to survivors, and about the annual fundraising event, Java Jive, to be held on Saturday, September 13, from 10 AM to 2 PM, at Delta Beer Labs, 167 E. Badger Road.
