3 Women 3 Ways

CAMPUS SEXUAL ASSAULT Did you know that as many as one in four women on American college campuses report unwanted sexual contact on campus? That includes everything from the annoying to the threatening to rape. Sounds like an unbelievably high number, doesn’t it? So what are we doing about it? Victoria Banyard, PhD, has dedicated her academic career to finding better ways to help communities prevent and respond to interpersonal violence and she has conducted a lot of research on campuses. Banyard has worked to help shape policy at the national, state and local levels. Her research includes how to improve those statistics, the implications of campus assault and what others can do about it. She is a professor in the School of Social Work at Rutgers. Join us as we talk about the problem of campus sexual assault, the consequences for students and society, and what we can all do about it.
