The Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response at Harvard University

The Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response was established in 2003 to provide confidential support, information, and resource referrals to survivors of sexual violence.

The mission of the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response is to provide leadership in creating a Harvard community free from sexual and interpersonal violence and harassment. We are committed to supporting and empowering survivors of violence. We believe in preventing violence through education, personal and collective accountability, and social change.

You can call us, 24 hours a day (617-495-9100) , for information and resources. We are trained to listen and help, confidentially.

***Please note - Summer 2008 office and hotline hours:
Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm. If you need assistance outside of these hours, please call our office, (617) 495-9100, for a listing of 24 hour resources. 24 hour hotline coverage will resume in September 2008.***

Sexual assault is a problem that affects everyone at the College. We also work to educate the College community about sexual assault, its prevention, and its impact.

We strive to provide empathic, supportive services to students of the College who have experienced sexual assault. Knowing that some students will prefer to seek services outside of Harvard's campus, The Office works closely to provide easy linkages to off-campus resources as well.

Call us 24 hours day at (617-495-9100) , email us , or stop by our office at Holyoke Center 731 from 9am - 5pm, Monday through Friday. We're here to listen, help, and work for change.
