For months, @milapgh and I have investigated sexual violence on Pittsburgh college campuses. Today, we’re sharing an overview of what we learned: publicsource.org/red-zone-pi…
22 Nov 2022
Here's what @emmafolts learned from her Red Zone reporting:
1⃣ Resources often fall short
2⃣ Title IX reporting can retraumatize survivors
3⃣ Social stigma is prevalent
4⃣ Universities are unsure of the full scope
5⃣ Men should be involved in prevention

No parent wants to think about it. But sexual violence still happens on campuses.
And the odds of a young woman being assaulted can be higher than the odds of getting into some schools in the first place.

.@PittTweet community: In light of last week’s reported sexual assault in the Cathedral of Learning, I’m looking to hear your most pressing questions and concerns. I’d like to ask university officials those very questions for a Q&A-style article for @PublicSourcePA. (🧵 1/5)
