Sexual violence may be all too common, but it is preventable. Each of us has a role to play, and each of us can be part of the solution. An individual or group of people working together can change the world – one person at a time, one organization at a time, one religious institution at a time, one community at a time, one law at a time.

If you are a college student and you have been a victim of sexual violence, you may be wondering whom to tell and where to turn. What is the judicial process at your school, and what do you do if you need to withdraw from classes? Since 90 percent of rape survivors on college campuses know their attackers, you may also be worried about seeing the perpetrator again—on campus, in class, or in your residence hall. Read more about common concerns of survivors who are college students. Find resources on your campus:
