WHAT WORKS FOR SUSAN WON'T WORK FOR TAMEKA:

A Culturally Responsive Approach to Sexual Violence Prevention & Response

When organizations apply one-size-fits-all approaches to sexual violence response, survivors of color are often harmed, misunderstood, or excluded. This book challenges that practice and offers a culturally responsive framework for institutions seeking to do better.

Why This Book Matters for Organizations

How Organizations Use This Book

  • One-size-fits-all survivor response models fail to account for culture, race, and power.

  • Survivors of color experience unique barriers that institutions often overlook.

  • Policies alone do not create safety, trust, or access to support.

  • Cultural responsiveness must be built into programs, training, and decision-making.

  • As a shared foundational text for staff, leadership, and practitioners

  • To support cultural assessments and program redesign

  • As pre-reading for trainings, consulting engagements, or strategic planning

  • As a resource for understanding culturally responsive sexual violence response
