Raising awareness about sexual assault and rape starts with open, honest, and informative conversation. Having organizations come into schools and talk about topics like sexual assault and consent will benefit all students. The Clothesline Project came to ETHS a few years ago and it was very eye opening. Each shirt that was hung up on the clothesline told a different survivor's story. This showed how often sexual assault happens and how traumatic it truly is. This allowed students to be more informed on the subject of sexual assault and empathize with survivors. With more organizations like this and honest open discussions on the topic we can prevent sexual assault while supporting people who have been affected by it.
End Rape on Campus was founded by Annie E. Clarke and Sofie Karasek in 2013. EROC’s key objective is to end sexual assault on college campuses. They are supporting survivors, preventing sexual assault through education, and policy reform on campus, local, state, and federal levels. End Rape on Campus receives its funding through donations. EROC has received support from many different news sources such as USA Today, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, and many more. These sources have written articles on the issue of sexual assault and how organizations such as this one are creating awareness and are helping support survivors.
