VULNERABLE CO-EDS

JOIN THE WYANDOTTE-DOWNRIVER BRANCH OF THE AAUW TUESDAY EVENING (11/11/14) TO LEARN MORE.

Sexual assault has lasting effects on students and disproportionately affects college women. Educational equity for women and girls requires fair, responsive, fully developed campus sexual assault policies, knowledgeable administrators, and ultimately, an end to sexual violence on campuses. After years of hard work by advocates such as AAUW, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA) became law in March of 2013. The updated VAWA’s campus safety provisions, sometimes called Campus SaVE, require colleges and universities to take new steps to end sexual violence.
