55 Too Many: Addressing Sexual Violence on College Campuses
Sexual assault on college campuses has been a reality for decades, but is only recently being brought to the forefront, thanks largely to survivors working together to advocate for themselves. The Department of Education recently released a list of 55 colleges and universities with active Title IX sexual assault complaints, and even the White House put together a task force to respond. But what does this all actually mean for college and university students? Join us to discuss campus advocacy, creative campaigns, and effective ways to respond to and combat sexual violence on campus.
