hunting ground

  In class, we've been watching a documentary about Sexual assault on college campuses. While watching it the biggest thing that stuck out to me was how unimportant this seemed to be to the staff of the college. We listened to many different stories about teens who were attacked on their campus. There was also statics on each college in the U.S. on how many reports there were from student that were attacked. For example, Notre Dame there were 204 reports of sexual assault with maybe 1 or 2 expulsions. We listened to a story of three girls who were all victims of rape. They came together, when they were in school after their assault had happened, they reported but didn't get the justice that they deserved. They started a movement on finding justice for those who were victims of sexual assault. Of course, when they went public and word got out about it that's when many forms of harassment began.
  They didn't stop they started they found out about a law called Title IX, prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. These girls used title ix to defend their argument “We do know it's a civil rights law, but it’s in this framework that you’re not having an equal college experience and education because of what happened to you and how you’re treated after,” Clark says (one of the three girls). What grabbed my attention the most is the fact that they had so much negativity coming at them about their movement, when I honestly thought that it would have a lot of support from others on their campus. There were threats being mad on social media, to their faces, and even vandalizing their rooms. This caught the eye of other college student from all over the states and many of them began to come forward with their rape stories. This caused their movement to grow rapidly to where colleges from around the states started to have their own movements.
