Abstract
While a nationwide grassroots movement has worked to end sexual violence (SV) for the past three decades, historically the focus of these efforts has largely been on services for victims. In 2001, CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) began administering the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program that was established by the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. In 2004, Kentucky's sexual violence services community was asked by a commissioner of social services in the state, “What do you need to prevent violence in Kentucky?” The community of providers questioned whether it was possible to prevent sexual violence. Could they imagine a world with no victims of this crime? The question and the hope it created were the genesis of Kentucky's journey to prevent sexual violence, but it was participation in the EMPOWER program that provided the framework, tools, and cross state learning that was truly transformative to Kentucky.
