you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially a public appearances with putin even though they weren't explicitly political you were just supporting sports one of the things that certain people regime has been very adept at is controlling the media for example right here c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i see you have an agenda i think. is is bought and paid for. america's colleges which through hollywood's television and the media have become very familiar. with campuses american football it stalls cheerleaders and the notorious parties.

it's a life young people dream of but behind the picture post is a nightmare for female students. one in five will be a victim of rape during the studies according to the figures published by the department of justice. how and why is this happening. for the first time some of the victims of the epidemic speaking out. we are in los angeles. tells her story. iris raped in december two thousand and ten. the morning of december fourth two thousand and ten in my bed. in the cardinal gardens housing contacts at the university of southern california. i didn't know what to do. over and over again.

and i stopped after a while because it just didn't mean a thing to. say lips was a boyfriend. do you remember anything happen last night and we had. said yeah we had said no no and his face goes slack and i do know that i was so drunk i don't remember the sex at all i was just thinking that we had sex. and yes i could have been more aware if i had been raised in an environment where i knew about date rape but i didn't and this is something that people aren't talking about and like i didn't know what to look out for because i didn't think that people were cable capable of doing i didn't think that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. life is dominated by the fraternities groups of around thirty students shit

accommodation on campus. they are identified by the greek make up the fraternities name. they're everywhere and organize endless apologies and drinking binges. angelos is a whistle blower and form a fraternity member. despite the risks. i had this maybe this romantic notion of what was happening inside you know it would be you know guys and tweed blazers drinking scotch and debating aristotle and you know things like god or some kind of you know classy like cocktail party vibe which obviously it wasn't very like naive point of view for turning is inherently have a binge drinking culture the main goal of for a party. to get girls trying to sleep with them or to lower inhibitions all around you know if you're. dear friends on guard duty you know it help to get the

info girl drunk or you know different drinking games will be played on the bar and you know brothers were kind of collude to forget certain targets you know i mean it sounds funny talking about the threat if not literal it's all kind of very self-conscious. in ninety percent of cases the rapes are committed by an acquaintance. on the east coast in massachusetts david lisak an expert on campus rape. the vast majority of sexual assault on college campuses is being perpetrated by serial offenders and they're not mistaken this is not a result of miscommunication and it's not caused by alcohol they are using alcohol very often but they're using alcohol as a weapon in order to get their victims in toss it into the street the vulnerable

and extremely easy to say. on average each one of the serial rapists is responsible for six rapes during their college years. they like all sex offenders they learn how to identify a vulnerable population. so in a university setting for example of vulnerable population very often means the youngest people on campus freshman. and i think people also underestimate the level of terror that when you have somebody who you thought was well he's just a student i know him he's the guy who invited me to this party he's he's one of us right he's it and all of a sudden this guy is acting in a way that is is terrifying. the other thing is oftentimes these cases get labeled as he said she said and and you can't you can't look at somebody and listen to them and say ah. there's the truth there's

a lie. so when you do you investigate and it's never a he said she said trees there are always there are witnesses. to investigate these cases including some pretty standard forensic evidence. complaints filed by the victims all usually followed by. chicago. at. the catholic university with an impeccable reputation and famous for its. fifteen thousand students and up to sixty thousand. feet. is a really special place and you wouldn't really know unless you're here it's like people tell you about it but you never really realize that it's

a family. and just an awesome awesome place to be there's a big tradition the schools are about. to hear it is not. the rest. is it. tailgating. this whole area would be covered with people. this is basically. a lot of girls have four guys.

after the game lizzie was sexually assaulted in the room. the next day she filed a complaint with the university and tried to get justice. the day after. the morning after. she came to me and told me you know something had happened when she got over snow to day and for. kind of you know went through the whole story of what had happened how she had already been in contact with. the hospital given our poor . and then at the point that she was talking to me about it was when she was going to meet with the police chief from notre dame and she asked me to go with her you know to support her while she was making the identification of the player who assaulted her. no investigation was opened universities are responsible for crimes committed on campus. notify the university the state police

ten days after the events. ever since his daughter's death. wants only one thing to know what drove to suicide investigators couldn't reach any conclusions despite evidence of the threats received by the. written statement is clear i was extremely scared next he pulled me onto his lap and kissed me even hard my breasts with both his hands he said to sucking my neck and crying hard the day after the salt a message from the football player was not only threatening it was dominating that same day on the second at about six twenty meaning where. to happen she says sorry it's not your business sorry and then he drops in me don't do anything you would regret messing with the football is a bad idea. because looking at the. surface is communicating on

behalf of himself he has the football on behalf of that player who is acting for this moment what's interesting maybe prophetic about this is that become of maybe the truest statement anyone makes in this entire matter that you don't want to mess with this you will regret it it will be bricks that comes down on you and certainly we have. on every campus we investigated. we tried to contact notre dame authorities who refused our request for an interview . has come up against an institution that defends instead of his daughter. is precious to universities. three years later the analysis is terrible and things haven't changed. if you're going to be

a world class institution notre dame or otherwise you're going to be world class in everything you do including athletics then you ought to have an absolute world class response process disciplinary process truth finding process around the issue of sexual assault or any other crime that would go on a campus. university town to complaints to rape and assault at the discretion yet the laws do exist. at the new england school in boston lawyer and activist wendy murphy is fighting even if there's a disease she specifically teaches about those laws right here the title mind started off in this country as an aspect of the civil rights act the best way to get equality to happen. is to prohibit discrimination against you well what kind of discrimination is most likely to inhibit your ability to learn harassment and violence. and amendment from one hundred seventy two title nine imposes equal

access to education for boys and girls about. in cases of sexual discrimination the university must act or risk losing federal grants. the cleary act of nine hundred ninety requires universities to declare the number of sexual assaults on campus. sexual salt on college campuses has been an epidemic for a very long time. the numbers that we hear range from one in four one in five one in six students on campus will be the victim of rape or attempted rape during their years in college it's actually a more risky environment for a woman than not going to college in other words you're more likely to be raped in college than in the real world in my experience the worst schools are the schools that house the most untitled males so it's the ivies the elite schools the d.

ones that have the elite athletic programs the schools where the guys are worth the most if the question is what costs us less the guys are going to win every time schools that make money based decisions. are much more common than they would ever admit publicly. though when the european union promised to met ukraine become part of it it clearly contributed to the south abrasion of tensions within ukraine ukraine will not become part of the european union won't tell tales ukraine absolutely doesn't have the economic level to become part of the e.u. or be in.

the tried to. pull out of. mortar. fire or destroy each and every minute. someone may know the law oh well. my own life but hey. let's think this city limits cases mostly to months. sometimes for nothing which lead this season and it's still. it's not just keep still we can still be jobst if you see a stage eight look to be kept but speech on the same. place.

the strategies they condemn the silence that surrounds the epidemic in april two thousand and eleven the obama administration sent out

a notice signed by vice president joe biden to remind the universities to respect the law. if a school knows about student on student harassment that creates a hostile environment. requires the school to take immediate action to eliminate the harassment and prevent its reoccurrence. despite the government's attempts universities have not reacted to the legal reminders. often turns into hostility to the victims we had to huntsville alabama. has taken refuge she works as a tour guide for. the university contested the events and placed her in a psychiatric hospital it's a simple case of blaming the victim. i think it's not really a culture as much as culture of silence rape is one of those crimes when you

mention no one wants to talk about. publishing her story in the campus newspaper she exposed the university's behavior regarding her rape in one week more than ten thousand read her story on the internet. being raped time to. time does not speed ahead like it does when you're with. time becomes. it's such an excruciating pace every second becomes an hour every minute a year becomes a lifetime on may twenty fifth twenty. three. dormitory on campus some nights i can still hear the sound of his roommate from the door. and. it is far from a pleasant wake up call. if you.

think about. analyzing everything and. wishing that i could go back and how i. hold retrospective what would you have done differently. this. is a time where. no one could find me. especially but. the university's reaction revealed that. the powerful get their way. we'd have to go through. behavioral counsel and like sit down with him and. defend yourself but you don't have any proof and there are no witnesses or physical

d.n.a. so it's not really much folk point. and there's a high chance that you and i you know i didn't want to be told by the school that i had been there a so i think how do you deal with that girl complaining about the son of an alumni . millions of dollars through the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school or why make actual changes that will put you in the press in a negative light. once again money is the primary motive. the school must be exemplary to maintain revenue and show that it defends american values. values question by jackson katz a sociologist who studies male and female campus relations.

i think the media has gotten more and more objectifying of women and actually that the explicit nature of the violence in the sexualized nature of the violence by men against women has gotten more extreme and it's not about imitation it's not about young people or older people watching media or playing a video game or listening to music and then going out and imitating what they've seen that's a that's a really narrow and simplistic way of understanding the effects of media effects of media are much deeper and more long term than that and they have to do with establishing norms so lots of boys growing up heterosexual boys growing up are consuming these narratives of manhood where the man is just. completely dominating and sometimes degrading the woman as he's having sex with her and they think that a lot of these guys think that that's normal because that's all they know because that's shaping their psyches in their sexual socialization because if we believe we say we believe in freedom and justice and equality and fairness and where and where men that we have to support feminism we have to support women's efforts to be treated like full human beings and we have to challenge our own sort of power and

privilege in that sense it's i mean it's that's that's that's fundamental. however things have begun to change in the united states in los angeles as survivors association say c. was created by a group of victims to break the silence. the young women have decided to use the law to denounce the university's attitude. led by two professors they filed complaints for failure to respect title nine of the cleary act. so really i hear people yelling fire around are using the legal system to fight for justice too many young women and men on their campus who have been once actually softer raped frats battered by names later chronicle i'm a survivor from occidental college. because of my experience with the administration i graduated early i left the school in december of this last year.

and i'm here today because i want occidental to be compassionate i wanted to be a place for survivors feel safe and i want to make sure that if there are racists i'm campus and when there are rapists on campus that the school is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of all of its students and totally are at the playing free and encouraging this group we're going to do this together. and big girls don't cry danielle. gamba great ones who think i don't mind yes. yes very very. gloria allred famous for defending women's rights is the lawyer for the young women she will denies the press conference to file a complaint against occidental college it's the first time the twenty year old women talk to the national media. early this morning in a complaint was filed on behalf of a number of victims with the office of civil rights against occidental college for

violating title knowing the complaint documents by a way sions involving thirty seven occidental college students who were allegedly raped sexually assaulted battered harassed and or retaliated against for speaking out against sexual violence accidental needs to be investigated by the department of education they cannot conduct business as usual while women are being raped we are asking the department of education to take swift and immediate action to force the college to do what they are legally required to do or lose their federal funding. that this point we're going to need to conclude however this is a copy of the not quite a logical claim. we wanted to meet with authorities of occidental college. to our surprise they agreed to an interview with a marketing director just a lang whose explanations remains rather unclear. right now i'm in the past year

reported for two thousand and eleven under the cleary actually have reported that thirteen rapes have occurred and we have heard that there are thirty seven people who have filed a complaint against a college we have not seen a complaint nor have we been officially notified that we interesting fun. sorry. we have we have heard that there are thirty seven students and former students who are filed a complaint with the office of civil rights. followed by stonewalling. is undergoing a review of its policies and procedures and with that anything that has changed in the last number of years and the current policy will be over viewed to see that it fits the needs of the students and compliance with the department of education. however we do encourage students and former students cheer for

a port and to come forward we see it as a positive thing that they're speaking out and that they're helping to address that issue and still being very concerned about the students who are on this campus today and the students yet to come this way we have caroline hellman and. the professors in charge of the o.s.a. see complaints never believe the official statements. about two years ago it became apparent that the college was actually not going to make real changes but they were going to tell us they were making real changes so we had to shift our strategy and do more research and more kind of public. efforts to get them to change back was formally formed last year when it became very clear that the administration was simply not going to move on this and were some of the original co-founders along with a group of students you know we've been hearing from schools across the nation but

it's been school here in los angeles and across california that we've become really close to in terms of you know this national movement helping them file their title nine complaints filed there clearly complaints and we've talked to people at u.s.c. and we've talked to people in the on the beach and the schools are just going to keep growing and if the. occidental college is a liberal arts college with some two thousand students with tuition costing fifty thousand. any other updates we want to my graduation plans we need to survive as they plan the next steps of their fight for justice against the school is right. to survive but from u.s.c. has joined them she learned that defending oneself is possible and that silence could be broken. this experience of getting to know each other and knowing. that this affects so many people. and gives you your humanity back.

by doing this now. ten years from now fifteen years from now my children won't have this happen to them my grandchildren will have this happen to them because we did this now. it's the right time. we had to teach people that slavery was bad and that women could actually vote and it wouldn't destroy the economy we can we can do this so i feel. the movement to break the law goes beyond the victims. we attend to take back tonight's event one of many to raise awareness on campus violence. today the men all the focus of raising awareness and holding on men's minds to stop rape because it's something that affects all of us and is something that is predominantly done by men and i'll manage very small group of men and these are just men i heard timing us that they're really not ok with it

and they're so not to care that they're going to show the ultimate sign of empathy by putting on heels when i was going to do to think about women's issues as being just full of women. actually i don't i think they're kind of civil rights issues which i'm sure if everyone good. close up because it's just. good. it's a very detailed truth so big it's. fairly talked about you know even if it does suggest a close up picture it's the excuses for people who use words like oh somebody like me i don't know that person can i does that it's just. that it needs to be addressed directly you know and it has it i get the events like this and also that i take the real it's really. really offers a space for people who have been good at.

this good hidden by institutions worried about their reputation isn't about to end not today. nor tomorrow but the victims struggle has come to light and shows the desire for change. in the united states with violence is often too common the fight has only just begun. i'm. i'm happy martin the stories we cover here not can here in iraq other big story
