A university free from gender-based violence is possible when its efforts are rooted in community. It is CAPE’s goal that the OSU community sees itself reflected in our efforts. This is only possible when we do this work side by side with our community. If you’d like CAPE to attend an event you are hosting, send a request.
Preventing gender-based violence is possible and we all play a role.
