Recommended: Teaching gender education in schools

My program would be more interactive with students to raise awareness about sexual assault. I would persuade the President to have a mandatory in-person class that all students must take. An in-person class would be beneficial because it will force students to attend it. The class will be a one-unit class that meets up once a week. By it being once a week, it will have the student thinking about the class for the semester. On top of that, I would post more flyers raising awareness about sexual assault. The flyers would be put out the week before “Take Back the Night” that Fresno State has so that more students can be encouraged to go to it. The event sometimes has victims talk about their sexual assault and everything they have been through

  • Sexual Assault in Australia

    715 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sexual assault is the act of sexual intercourse without consent of the other person according to New South Wales Consolidation Act of 1900 (Austlii 2011) and is also described by the Australian Standard Offence Classification as ‘non-consensual’ acts or intents of sexual nature (ASOC 2008, p. 31) has become one of the most predominate crimes creating social harm in Australia. Social harm is defined as the negative influence through consequences impacting from the individual to the living conditions of the surrounding public (Cain & Howe 2008, p. 26). Sexual assault poses a social threat to all aspects of community, spreading insecurity in the 9000 victims across Australia and 1900 victims in NSW alone as indicated in the Australian Bureau of Statistics Crime Victimisation Report (ABS 2011, p. 40). This is supported by the victimization rate of all sexually assaulted victims between ages 10 to 14 being 4 times greater than all the other age groups (ABS 2010). Another major issue within the boundaries of sexual assault is that it holds one of the lowest prosecution rates with only 1 in 10 incidents able to prosecute the offender as guilty (Fitzgerald 2006, Pg. 1). The abundance of statistics and reports conducted all imply that sexual assault is still a predominate issue of crime within Australia.

  • The Pervasiveness Of Rape On College Campuses

    1315 Words  | 3 Pages

    “I felt his hands start to move down towards my shorts as if he was trying to unbutton them or pull them off. I was still crying at this point and felt so scared that I couldn’t move” (Henneberger, 2012). These are words written by a college freshman after she had been raped, but they are true for many others as well. According to the Rape Crisis Center of Medina and Summit Counties, “every two minutes someone in the US is sexually assaulted” (Get the Facts). “Girls ages 16-19 are four times more likely than the than the general population to be victims of sexual assault” (Get the Facts). These women may be described as slut, cheap, or ready for action, rather than victim, sufferer, or survivor. Rape myths encourage these demeaning terms for women and conceal the reality of rape culture. I will describe the pervasiveness of sexual assault on college campuses as well as the systems and procedures in place to address it. Power plays a role in this issue, including the powerful men on campus such as athletes and fraternity members as well as the administrators in power who regulate the punishments and actions that are taken against the perpetrators. The influence of those in power often goes overlooked in our society because it has become so intertwined with our culture.

  • Redefining Rape: A Discussion on Male Sexual Assault

    1270 Words  | 3 Pages

    Rape until 2012 was defined as “The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will.” It was severely lacking was only updated by the Federal Bureau of Instigation in 2012. It left out an entire section of rape that can be committed which is man being the rape victim. This lead to misclassification of rape of males for years. So even the statistics used till 2014 were underwhelming and inaccurate when it was related to male rape or sexual assault. Rape in the United States is now defined by the Department of Justice as “Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” Male Rape or men being the sexual assault victims are rarely ever the subject of a dialogue when Sexual Assault is the topic being discussed because rape is generally seen as a heterosexual highly sexed male attack on vulnerable, attractively dressed female victim. Most rapists have alternative outlets for sexual gratification, many take little notice of their victim 's physical attributes, and some may experience sexual dysfunction during the assault.

  • The Importance Of Sexual Assault On College Campuses

    According to an interview by Beckett Brennan with Katie Couric “95 percent of victims that were sexual assault on college campuses do not report the sexual assault” (The Case). Majority of sexual assaults that happen on a college campus, will never be reported. Colleges should have more of a responsibility when it comes to the sexual assaults on campuses. Colleges need to own up to the sexual assaults, and take responsibility for the sexual assaults. Colleges need to stop pushing sexual assaults away, and need to stand up and do something about the sexual assaults on college campuses. Although sexual assaults are an individuals responsible, colleges should also be responsible in the sexual assaults that happen on college campuses.

  • Argumentative Essay: Sexual Assault In The United States

    459 Words  | 1 Pages

    The first step of my plan would be to test rape kits that are backlogged in each town. This will help the victims find their attackers and put the attackers away. One way to pay for testing is to have a sales tax. This would lower the cost of property tax and help other government entities financially. Oregonians are happy they do not have a sales tax, but a lower property tax, a well-financed police force, and no rape kits backlogged will benefit those who pay the tax. The second step would be to form organizations on college campuses to be there for the victims. This also goes with making a survey to better schools and police see what they are dealing with. A more defined and in-depth survey will help the school, students, and potential students become aware of what they are seeing on campus. Woman have 6%-10% chance of getting raped while they attend a higher education [1]. The probability of a girl on campus being forced to participate in unwanted sexual contact is more likely than someone dying of an overdose and fatal car accident combined [2].
