Sexual Health Innovations, a non-profit dedicated to creating technology that improves sexual health and wellbeing, is planning to create a new sexual assault and harassment reporting system for college campuses. The primary goal of the system is to improve the experience of reporting and to give students more agency in the reporting process.

Before we start building the system, we want to make sure we are creating something that will truly work for the people that will need it. To do this, we are holding our first focus group for young women and men (ages 18-30) that experienced sexual assault while in college. This focus group will meet in New York City on Saturday 5-7pm, November 23rd. It will be really informal – we want to discuss the journey of processing an assault, to learn about participants’ ideal resolution and reporting systems, and to receive input into our proposed system. If you are interested in joining for this or future meetings of this focus group, email Jess at and we will give you details about the location ASAP.

Please keep in mind that we need to keep this a safe space for everyone involved and confidentiality for participants will be of the utmost importance.
