“Chains for Change” will provide an opportunity to join advocates in symbolically showcasing WVU's commitment to addressing sexual violence by sharing survivor stories or showing support for survivors of sexual assault.
It’s On Us was launched in 2014 following recommendations from the White House Task Force to Prevent Sexual Assault that noted the importance of engaging everyone, especially men, in the conversation to end sexual violence.
Sexual assault does not discriminate; it can happen to any person, at any time.
Sexual assault is pervasive on American college campuses: 20% of women, 13% of men and nearly half of all LGBTQ students will experience sexual assault at some point during their college career.
