How You Can Help Stop Sexual Violence:

Know that sexual contact requires mutual consent.
Spread the word that no one deserves to be sexually assaulted, stalked or victimized in any way.
Don’t engage in any behavior that may be considered dating/domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking or any other form of violence.
Never use force, coercion, threats, alcohol or other drugs to engage in sexual activity.
Take responsibility for your actions. Avoid alcohol and other drugs.
 Remember “No” means “No!” and “Stop” means “Stop!” 
Don’t mistake submission or silence for consent.
Report incidents of violence (including coercion) to law enforcement and campus authorities.
Discuss dating/domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking with friends—speak out against violence and clear up misconceptions.
Don’t laugh at sexist jokes or comments. 
Educate yourself and your friends. 
Attend an awareness event and use campus resources.
Look out for others at parties and bars. 
Empower victims to tell their stories.
 Offer assistance, options and a sympathetic ear.
