Title IX and Interpersonal Violence
The University is committed to supporting students affected by Title IX incidents, including sex discrimination, sexual harassment, sexual assault/violence, interpersonal violence (including domestic violence and dating violence), sexual misconduct, and stalking. UAB’s Title IX Office has compiled a quick resource for students (pdf) to utilize if an incident occurs.
If you would like to directly report a Title IX incident, call the Title IX Office directly at (205) 996-1340 or email a Title IX Coordinator.
Please do not be afraid to reach out.
International Resources
Even if you are abroad, there are resources both in-country and over the internet that are available to you—including your on-site director. For example, the following are organizations with internet-based resources that can provide assistance internationally:
- Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN): Toll-free 24/7 hotline for sexual assault counseling and referrals: 1-800-656-HOPE (4673). RAINN also offers a hotline through their website that provides live, secure, anonymous crisis support for victims of sexual violence, their friends, and their families. The online hotline is free of charge and available 24/7.
- Pathways to Safety International (Formerly SASHAA): Phone, email, or live chat with staff in the Crisis Center. Pathways to Safety International provides support and response worldwide to victims of sexual assault and interpersonal violence regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, or location.
International SOS can also connect you with local resources if you would like to speak with someone face-to-face.
