Please join us for a presentation and discussion of how to determine if a college is taking sexual assault seriously. How do you find campus crime statistics? What do they mean? What does a better sexual assault policy look like? What can parents and students do to improve a school’s prevention and response activities? For parents of both prospective and current college students, and their children.

This weekend we co-hosted two readings of The Vagina Monologues with The Red Tent Women’s Project. We decided to have a participatory reading, rather than a staged performance. Each time, we invited audience members as they arrived to sign up to read a monologue. We had to do some coaxing, but we got most of the monologues assigned, and we filled in the gaps ourselves. The result? Amazing! Real women reading real women’s stories, unpolished, imperfect, but so moving and with such impact. I think it made the experience very powerful, and really fun, for everyone. We had women of all ages reading (the youngest are not always the bravest!). Then we followed it with a chocolate-based reception. Good times.
I had a chance to meet some students and potential volunteers who are interested in working with SAFER, and we raised money for our programs too!
