Before betrayal: Resources for Unversity Students in Instances of Sexual violence

Title IX is a law for federally funded educational institutions created to prevent discrimination based on sex. While Title IX has been helpful in some respects, there are still astronomically high rates of sexual violence on college campuses - despite ongoing and/or required sexual violence education programs for first year students. Unfortunately, the current state of educational programming around Title IX or sexual violence issues on US college and university campuses is focused almost solely on prevention – with very little if any education about what the Title IX process is for reporting acts of violence. The educational program developed here aims to close the gap of knowledge and give college students a reasonable expectation of the standard procedures and processes; and provide resources through an in-person presentation.
