On December 13 a lesbian in Richmond, CA (near San Francisco) was about to enter her vehicle as she was approached by 4 young men who proceeded to beat, gang rape, rob and leave her completely naked and bleeding to death near the Richmond BART train station. 

This heinous crime shocked even the Richmond police-- who see some of the worse cases of violence in the country. 

The attack was "alleged" to be a hate crime as the survivor claims that the attackers targeted her and used anti gay language throughout her attack.

Horrifying attacks such as this one reinforce the need for a higher level of sexuality education in this country. If we can begin to imagine a world where true lifelong sexual literacy exists....which embraces sexual human diversity and rights....we can begin to heal.

NSRC is proud to work with organizations like Community United Against Violence (CUAV) who promote education, awareness, advocacy and healing for those affected by these crimes and others forms of violence. CUAV is the local agency responding to media calls and crisis calls related to this terrifying crime. 

I would like to take a moment to remind...
