Interpersonal violence (sexual assault, relationship violence, stalking, and harassment) can impact anyone regardless of age, race, gender, class, sexual orientation, ability status, strength, etc.

CAPE is dedicated to providing support and advocacy services to all DU community members impacted by interpersonal violence. Our advocates employ trauma-informed equity and justice lenses to their work and have expertise in and center survivors who hold marginalized identities or are members of groups facing a heightened risk of experiencing interpersonal violence.
