Dear Colleague,

The Call for Abstracts/Presentations for the 3rd National Sexual 
Violence Prevention Conference to be held on May 25  28, 2004 in Los 
Angeles, California will be available on October 6. The conference theme 
is Building Leadership and Commitment to End Sexual Violence. This 
conference is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and the US 
Department of Justice.

Please note that abstracts or presentation proposals must be received or 
postmarked no later than Friday, November 14, 2003.

The Conference Planning Committee is particularly interested in 
receiving proposals that reflect a special emphasis on underserved 
communities. We hope to attract a broad range of presenters, including 
persons whose work addresses social problems that impact the prevalence 
and prevention of sexual violence.

Issues we would like to address at the conference include, but are not 
limited to:

· How sexual violence impacts all communities?
· How to reach underserved communities?
· How to evaluate existing sexual violence programs?
· How to foster partnerships between researchers and providers?
· How to ensure culturally competent programs and services?
· How to include men in the prevention of sexual violence?

Resource Center (NSVRC) and the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC) will host teleconferences on October 17 and October 28 
from 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. EST. and 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. EST (two calls on both
