Tips On How To Prevent Sexual Assault On Campus

Here are some tips to avoid sexual assault on college campuses:

• Know and understand consent: Consent is a clear and enthusiastic agreement to engage in sexual activity. It should be given freely and enthusiastically.

• Trust your instincts: If a situation or a person makes you feel uncomfortable, it is important to trust your instincts and leave the situation.

• Plan ahead: Before going out, make plans with friends or let someone know your plans and when you plan to return.

• Watch your drinks: Never leave your drink unattended and always keep an eye on what you are drinking. If someone offers you a drink, go to the bar or get it yourself.

• Use the buddy system: Going out with friends and looking out for each other can help keep you safe.

• Report any incidents: If you or someone you know experiences sexual assault, it is important to report it to the proper authorities as soon as possible.

• Know resources: Familiarize yourself with available resources on campus, such as sexual assault crisis hotlines, counseling services, and police.

Remember that sexual assault can't always be prevented, but it is important to take steps to keep yourself safe.
