issue: Stopping Violence Against Women

Authors Diana Zuckerman and Brandel France de Bravo write for National Center for Health Research: “Whether the most accurate statistics of campus rape are 1 in 5, 1 in 7, or 1 in 20, remember that there are about 10 million women who are attending colleges in the U.S. Even 1 in 20 would mean 500,000 women who have been or will be raped before they graduate. Campus rape and other types of sexual assault are a huge problem for colleges and an enormous tragedy. Most colleges have done a terrible job of preventing them or ensuring justice for the students involved.”

Author Tyler Kingkade writes for The Huffington Post: “Sexual assault victim advocates who are pushing against a mandatory reporting bill in Virginia are paying closer attention to a “promising” new third-party reporting system called Callisto, which would let victims choose when their report of sexual assault is submitted and who receives it.”
