Eastern Illinois Sexual Assault Reporting Activism

Eastern Illinois Sexual Assault Reporting Activism

After “My rapist still goes here. Will no one listen to me?” was written in large chalk letters on my campus I started a campaign to change sexual assault reporting practices. Within two weeks I had collected 1000 physical and electronic signatures. I met with my university president and negotiated terms throughout the semester and since then all demands have been met.
