Women Helping Women Saferide is a free rape prevention shuttle service that provides females at the University of Oregon with a safe alternative to walking alone at night and risking possible assault. Saferide was created in 1985 after student government members conducted a student survey and discovered that an overwhelming majority of women did not feel safe walking alone at night. Saferide began by offering only an on campus rape prevention shuttle service. Since then, our growth rate has been incredible. Saferide is funded in part by the University of Oregon.
Additional funding is generated by fund-raising and generous donations.
However, Saferide still does not have enough financial support to be able to expand to meet the growing safety needs of university women. If you are interested in volunteering as a driver, an office worker or a fund-raiser, please drop by our office or call us to donate your time and energy. Women's Center, Ste. This directory provides UO faculty, staff, and students with access to a pool of students who are available for child sitting. Ask for Karen Logvin.
