"I WOULDN'T KNOW WHERE TO GO, TRUTHFULLY. IF I GOT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED..."
Statistics show that 1 in 5 women will experience rape or attempted rape within her lifetime, and that a woman has a heightened risk of experiencing rape while in college (Jozkowski, 2015). Many institutions focus on prevention through affirmative sexual assault education but the path to sexual assault resources and support groups is usually unclear and confusing.
