Multiple studies across the US have found that 1 in 4 female college students, and 1 in 16 male college students will experience completed or attempted rape by the time they graduate college. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. Violence is an epidemic!
Tech is not exempt from these problems: 13% of participants in the 2020 campus climate survey reported that they had experienced sexual assault during their time at Tech. Tech has made steps to combat the problem of sexual violence with Project AWAKEN. We can ALL be a part of the solution!
