The UW Police and Women’s Center are excited to bring two impactful presentations to campus in October pertaining to campus rape and sexual assault.
It’s time for a wake-up call about rape and sexual assault on campus. It is only a myth in our society that women incite men to rape or that men are not sexually assaulted. It’s a myth that if the assailant, victim, or both are drunk, the assailant cannot be charged with rape. And it’s a myth that sexual assaults are rare and only by strangers.
Learn the truth. Join the UW campus community for two impactful presentations about rape and sexual assault, and learn about your role in stopping these silent crimes.
