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 where i knew about but i didn't and this is something that people on talk about and like i didn't know what to look out for. because i didn't think that people were capable capable of doing that to each other when they knew each other i thought rape was a stranger in the bushes. life is dominated by the. groups of the students. they are identified by the greek make up the fraternities name. they're everywhere and organize endless policies and drinking binges. angelos it is a whistle blower and. despite the risks.

i had this maybe this romantic notion of what was happening inside that you know it would be you know. 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 a frat party. to get girls trying to sleep with them or to lower inhibitions all around you know if you're on your friends on bar duty you know it would help to get so and so girl drunk or you know different drinking games would be played on the bar and you know certain brothers would kind of collude to get certain targets you know i mean it sounds funny talking about it this way because it's not literal it's all kind of very self-conscious.

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 intoxicated for that there should really 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 a 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 you. 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 here's the truth there's a lie. so what do you do you investigate and it's never a he said she said case there are always there are witnesses there are you know there are multiple avenues to investigate these cases including some pretty standard forensic evidence. complaints filed by the victims are usually followed by long and poorly conducted investigations.

up to sixty. is a really special place and you wouldn't really know unless you're here. people always tell you about it but you never. get family. just an awesome awesome place to be there's a big tradition the schools are about. to hear it is not.

the. area covered. this is basically. a lot of girls have. the. morning after. happened. for. kind of you know went through the whole story of what had

happened how she had already been in contact with. the hospital. and then at the point that she was talking to me about it was when she was going to meet with the police chief. and she asked me to go with her you know to support her while she was identification of the player. no investigation was opened yet universities are responsible for crimes committed on campus victims can either notify the university or the state police ten days after the events lizzie seeburg ended her life ever since his daughter's death. once only one thing to know what drove to suicide investigators couldn't reach any conclusions despite evidence of the threats received by the younger a written statement is clear i was extremely scared next he pulled me onto his lap

and kissed me even harder squeezing my breasts with both his hands he said to suck in my neck and just crying harder the day after the salt a message from the football player was not only threatening it was down on me. at about six twenty meaning where. she says it's not your business and then he drops in me don't do anything you would regret messing with the football is a bad idea. these looking at the text on its surface is communicating on behalf of himself on behalf of the football on behalf of that player who is he 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 felt. on every campus we investigated. we tried to contact notre dame who refused our request for an interview. has come up against an institution that defends instead of his daughter. is precious to universities. that analysis is terrible and things haven't changed if you're going to be world class institution 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. universities handle complaints a rape at the discretion. do exist. at the new england school and.

activist wendy murphy is fighting a disease she specifically teaches about those laws break here 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. an amendment from one hundred seventy two title nine imposes equal access to education for boys and girls to ask. in cases of sexual discrimination a university must act or risk losing federal grants to 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 intitled 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.

plug. plug. plug world. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've gone to the huge earth covered. place it was terrible they are looking very hard to make a plan to get along here a plug hat that are stacked with the earth make their lives let's play.

in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want. there's a media leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same motion security for your party there's a golf. course is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . right from the seat. first for you and i think the church.

reformers. to be among. the authorities are aware of 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 title nine 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 rape culture as much so it's a 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. when you're being raped time to. time does not speed ahead like it does when you're with friends instead time becomes. it slows to such an excruciating pace every second becomes an hour every minute a year becomes

a lifetime on may twenty fifth twenty. dormitory on campus some nights i can still hear the sounds of his roommate from the door. talking and joking. it is far from a pleasant wake up call. if you. think about. analyzing everything and. go back and change things whole retrospective what would you have done differently . this. is a time where the paranoid and. no

one can find. especially. the university's reaction revealed that. the powerful get their way. to have to go through. behavioral counsel and like sit down with him and. defend yourself you don't have any proof there are no witnesses or physical d.n.a. so it's not really much point. and there's a high chance that. i. didn't want to be told school. so i think how do you do with. complaining about the son of an. millions of dollars through the school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school or why make actual changes will put you in the press.

once again money is the primary motive. the school must be exemplary to maintain revenue and show that it defends american values. values questioned by jackson cats. who studies male and female champus relations. i think the media has gotten more and more objectifying of women and actually 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 nice. when simplistic way of understanding the effects of media the 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 if we say we believe in freedom and justice and equality and fairness and where and where men then 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 survive his associations o.s.a. 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 a complaint for failure to respect title nine of the cleary act. really i hear

people yelling fire or easing the legal system to fight for justice too many young women and men on their campus who have banks actually soft raped frats battered my name's lisa chronic i'm a survivor from occidental. because of my experience with the administration i graduated early i left the school and december of this last year. and i'm here today because i want occidental to be compassionate i want it 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 rape a sign campus that the school is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of all of its students and totally on at the plane. three encouraging this group we're going to do this together. and big girls don't cry danielle. that's going to have to be our number eight one to think i don't mind yeah. yeah 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 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 violations 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 was going to need to conclude however this is a copy of the not quite a lot of complaints. we wanted to meet with authorities of occidental college. to our surprise they agreed to an interview with the marketing director trisha lang was explanations remains rather unclear. right i mean in the past year reported for two thousand and eleven under the cleary actually have reported that thirteen rapes have occurred we have heard that there are thirty seven people who have filed a complaint against a college we have not seen the complaint nor have we been officially notified that we interesting fun. sorry. we have we have heard that there are thirty thousand students and former students filed

a complaint with the office of civil rights. followed by stonewalling. was undergoing an overview 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 in compliance with the department of education. however we do encourage students and former students cheer for 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 schools 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 expanding. occidental college is a liberal arts college with some two thousand students with tuition costing fifty thousand. other updates are we want to microswitches. we meet the survivors as they

plan the next steps of their fight for justice against the school. the survivor 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 won't 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 of silence goes beyond the victims.

campus in los angeles we attend the take that's tonight's event one of many to raise awareness on campus violence. today the men all the focus of raising awareness the whole thing and 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 men of a small group as men and these are just men i hear 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 see them think about women's issues as being just for women. actually i don't i think they're kind of civil rights issues which i'm sure informs everyone. comes up because just. close. because it's a very detailed group so it's fairly talked about even if it does look just like all sorts of big expose these specific people use for us like oh so great look. i

don't know that person i'm. just. me your address directly you know. as if it could be the fence like this and also that is the real it's really can't really offer a space for people who feel good. this goods hidden by institutions worried about their reputation isn't about. not today. nor tomorrow but the victims struggle has come to light and shows the desire for change. in the united states violence is often too common in the fight has only just begun. was.

there is relativity in the way people get their information there is relativity in the way people value their money there is relativity in the way people. relate to each other but with the botching technology which is math based which is completely objective store transparent at a turn all these relative differences are big point away so to speak and read trying a new paradigm or a new era of absolute truth. you got a lot of sneering and negative press for your engagements here in russia especially for your public appearances with putin even though they weren't explicitly political you were just supporting sports. certain people who she has become 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 think you have an agenda i think . is is bought and paid for. choose your language. because with. nothing. the face of a sick child is that the consensus can. choose to opinions that. choose the stories that impact the. child's access to. audio in reality mediation is still there and it is killing our children they are

dying also hard assed know leukemia but the authorities are still hiding the truth from us still and i don't know why they have children on their own hard so much to know that they can protect our children. right from the scene. first right. and i think the church. on our reporters. on the map. today in the. secret laboratory was able to build a most sophisticated robot which fortunately doesn't. anything terms mission

to teach the creation why it should care about humans. this is why you should care only. a convoy of humanitarian aid heads from russia to ukraine's blockaded city of moscow and kiev agreed to a red cross led mission. police fired tear gas i didn't rage crowds in the u.s. state of missouri. violence over the police killing of an unarmed black teenager. the u.s. is to send weapons to kurdish militia in iraq which is struggling to push back heavily armed islamic state. britain's biggest pulling the plug on accounts belonging to syrian refugees and students.
