Incidents of sexual assault on college campuses across the United States are on the rise. In fact, according to 2015 numbers published by The New York Times, one in four women experienced sexual assault on a campus. Amongst men, the numbers are lower, but still serious – 8.6 percent. Amongst transgender students, reports of sexual assault are even higher than they are amongst females.
If you are a victim of sexual assault, it is important that you understand that you did nothing wrong, and that you have the power to take action.
