Stop Sexual Assault

Girls and young women experience high rates of violence. Young women between the ages of 20-24 are the most vulnerable age group to be impacted by dating violence and sexual assault, followed by young women ages 16-19.

College campuses are not a safe haven. 1 in 5 women in the U.S. today is sexually assaulted while in college, with most assaults occurring during their freshman and sophomore years.

In most cases of sexual assault, the victim knows the perpetrator. In the majority of these cases (75-80%), she knows her attacker, whether as an acquaintance, classmate, friend, or (ex) boyfriend.
