Talking Points Stereotypes -Women ask for it with their clothing -Women ask for it by being intoxicated -Men are sexual beings and can’t help themselves -Men have aggressive tendencies Historical -When was the first sexual assault reported on campus -The Hunting Ground documentary released in 2015 -Lack of appropriate punishment from previous high-profile cases of college sexual assault Update-2/5/2023 Refined Position: Campus rape and assault is all inclusive and affects everyone. It does not discriminate between male, female, non-binary or transgender. If we allow our voices to be heard, we can be empowered by the strength of many to end these violent assaults.

Social Changes: Forbes published an article in April 2021 on How Students are Making Change with Campus Sexual Assault Laws. In this article the main points focus on student-written laws that all students should have access to: 1. Free medical and legal support services 2. Amnesty policies that prevent survivors and bystanders from being punished for breaking school codes of conduct at the time of the incident (e.g. alcohol or drug use) 3. Confidential advising services for survivors 4. Public data through campus climate surveys on sexual violence 5. Annual prevention and response training for all students and employees (Nguyen, 2021) Nguyen, A. (2021). How Students Are Making Change with Campus Sexual Assault Laws .

Alcohol plays a very large part in the assault for both the victim and perpetrator. Freshman women are most vulnerable as they are likely to be more insecure or naïve about sexual approaches. We are also still very much in the infant stages of sexual assault
