Women and men must work together to fight sexual assault

By Sapir Sasson | Apr. 18, 2010

A movement to end all forms of sexual violence through education and activism... sounds empowering, right? And it is! But at the same time, it's a terrifying prospect, a concept that is intimidating to most men. Consequently, many men choose to remain uninvolved and distance themselves from the process of ending sexual violence. Why is that? Several factors play a role in creating an atmosphere of fear and resistance.

Build support inside campus community

By Sapir Sasson | Feb. 28, 2010

Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment is dedicated to preventing sexual assault, dating violence and stalking on campus through education and activism. PAVE maintains that it is the university's responsibility to ensure that every student on campus has access to a quality education, including victims of sexual assault and dating violence. Thus, it is crucial that the university takes the issue of sexual violence seriously and does everything in its power to ensure victims' needs are met so that their education is not compromised. While PAVE believes that the university makes great efforts to be responsive to victims' needs, we also feel it is important for these efforts to be consistently and continually evaluated to ensure that students receive the utmost support on campus.

Sometimes, the caller hangs up immediately after you answer the phone. You are receiving unwanted e-mails, letters and gifts. You even suspect that your e-mail and Facebook accounts are being monitored. In other words, you are being stalked.
