Reaching Individuals along all Literacy Levels

Sexual violence can interfere with an individual's education, including literacy. Sexual violence can create a downward spiral for many victims/survivors, the beginning often being interrupted education and dropping out of school. Without a high school diploma, a college degree, and literacy skills, many victims/survivors are unable to compete for well-paying jobs. Victims/survivors often find themselves trapped in low-paying, service sector jobs, and unable to meet their most basic needs in life.
