Our Mission.
Academics Against Assault is dedicated to creating a safer, supportive environment on university campuses. We believe that open dialogue, education, and advocacy are key to dismantling the stigma surrounding sexual violence. Together, we can empower students, faculty, and staff to take action, raise awareness, and foster a culture of respect and accountability.
Why This Matters
Sexual violence is a pervasive issue that affects individuals and communities on campus. Stigma prevents survivors from speaking out and seeking help, often leading to isolation and trauma. By confronting these challenges head-on, we can change the narrative, support survivors, and promote a culture of consent and respect.
Addressing sexual violence also fosters a sense of safety and belonging within the campus environment. When institutions actively engage in prevention and support efforts, they send a clear message that such behavior is unacceptable. This proactive stance not only empowers survivors to come forward but also encourages bystanders to take action, creating a more vigilant and supportive community. By prioritizing education, awareness, and open dialogue, we can dismantle harmful myths and empower individuals to stand against violence, ultimately cultivating an atmosphere where every member feels valued and protected.
