Everyone deserves to have their boundaries respected.
The start of the fall semester is often called the "Red Zone"—a time when college students face a higher risk of sexual assault.
It's important to remember that drinking never makes sexual violence the victim's fault. Consent means everyone freely agrees to what's happening and can change their mind at any time. Someone who is asleep, unconscious, or too impaired to understand what's happening cannot consent.
If you've experienced something that left you feeling hurt, uncomfortable, or unsure, support is available. Arise's 24/7 free confidential hotline is here, with an advocate to listen, answer questions, and help you explore your options.
