“Yo pienso que es bueno que están tratando de traer más atención a este problema, porque ya no dicen nada en las noticias porque pienso que las personas … no quieren admitir que otras personas pueden violar a otras o hacer tanto daño a otras personas. … También me gustaría [que trajeran] más atención a que no es culpa [de la] mujer o el hombre”.
Anthropology freshman
“I think it’s a very good idea for people who have been assaulted to come out and … express themselves or make themselves feel comfortable. So, this month really does allow them to come out from their comfort zone and come out of what happened to them and truly just be themselves after hiding so long behind that disclosure that they had around themselves.”
Kinesiology sophomore
“Not knowing a lot about it, but kind of knowing a little bit, we need to watch our backs and spread the news about sexual assault because everybody here in the university has to watch out for people that have gone through this or need to be careful because it’s something that is dangerous. But at the same time, we need to warn others about it.”
Multidisciplinary studies freshman
“Well it’s bad, obviously, but I think that people should open up to the idea that sexual assault comes in many different ways. Even when it’s not one-on-one, sexual harassment can still be comments and stuff like that, and we have to inform ourselves about the issue and be sure to be supportive … to those who have been assaulted and we should just learn that no is no.”
