how and why is this happening. for the first time some of the victims of the. story. i was raped in december two thousand and. the morning of december fourth two thousand and ten in my bed. in the cardinal gardens housing complex at the university of southern california. i didn't know what to do i suppose they know over and over and over again and i stopped after a while because it just didn't mean anything to one. boyfriend. so do you remember anything happen last night and we had. said yeah we had to remember said no no and his face goes slack and.

i was so drunk i don't remember the sex all i was just thinking we had sex. and yes i could have been more aware if i had been raised in an environment where i knew about but i didn't and this is something that people won't talk about and like i didn't know what to look out for because i didn't think that people who are capable capable of doing i didn't think people did 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 students. they are identified by the greek make up the fraternities name. they're everywhere and organize and. is a whistle blower. camera despite the risks. i

had this may be the throw mantic notion of like what was happening inside that you know it would be you know guys and three blazers drinking scotch and debating aristotle and you know things like doubt 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 helped 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 to get a certain target you know i mean it sounds funny talking about it this way because it's not literal it's all kind of very subconscious.

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 top speed into the street 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 the. 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 one of us right he's it and all of a sudden this guy is acting in a way that is it 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 there'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 all usually followed by long and poorly conducted investigations.

we are two hours from chicago in indiana at notre dame the catholic university with an impeccable reputation and famous for its american football team. fifteen thousand students and up to sixty thousand. is a really special place and you wouldn't really know unless you're here if they. tell you about it but you never really realize it get there it's a family and. i am just an awesome awesome place to be there's a big occupation the schools are about. to hear in. two thousand and ten. the rest she began a freshman year at st mary's college office.

where. tailgating. this whole area would be covered with people. this is basically. a lot of girls have four guys. and the guys take advantage of it. the next day she filed a complaint. and tried to get justice. the. morning after. she came to. know something had happened.

before she kind of you know went through the whole story of what had happened how she had already been in contact with. the hospital given her 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 identification of the players. no investigation was opened. while the state police. ever since his daughter's death tom 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 suck in my neck and cry and 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 he's asking what happened she says sorry it's not your business sorry and then he drops in me don't do anything you would regret messing with a football is a bad idea. because looking at the text on it surfaces is communicating on behalf of himself on behalf of 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 felt. on every campus we investigated. we tried to contact notre dame. 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 out on campus. universities down the complaints to rape and assault and at the discretion get the laws do exist. at

the new england school and lawyer and activist wendy murphy is fighting the universities 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 to ask. in cases of sexual discrimination the 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.

your friend posts a photo from a vacation you can't afford. to different. your boss repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still tends to rejection poetry keep. ignore it. we post only what really matters at r.t. to your facebook news feed. the world. science technology innovation all the list of melons from around russia we've gone to the future covered. plate it was a. very hard to take

a look once again took so long there was a plane flight pattern that had sex with that earthquake there are no lights. on one. of. the four. please. please. look at. the people. right from the seat. first for you and i think that you're.

on our reporters would. 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 the 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 culture as much so it's a culture of silence rape is one of those crimes when you mentioned 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 with. 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. roommates in the door. and. it is far from a pleasant wake up call. if you. think about. analyzing everything and. hold retrospective what would you have done differently. this. is a time where paranoia. no one no

one could find. especially but. the university's reaction revealed. the powerful get their way. behave. like sit down with him and. defend yourself you don't have any proof. 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 deal with that girl complaining about the son of in the law. school why listen to somebody who's going to lose money at the school or why make

actual change 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 campus relations. i think 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 on imitating what they've seen that's a that's a really no. 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 down or easing the legal system to pay for just too many young women and men on their campus who have banks actually soft brave frats battered my name's lee it's a chronic i'm a survivor from occidental college. and because of my experience with the administration i graduated early i left the school. in december of this last year. and 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 and campuses 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 crew we're going to do this together. and big girls don't cry danielle. so that's

a wrap so we are now married ones who think i don't mind yeah article that yes there is a. 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 logical place. we wanted to meet with authorities of occidental college. to our surprise they agreed to an interview with the marketing director tricia lange whose explanations remains rather unclear. right in the past year reported for two thousand and eleven under the cleary act we 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 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 who are 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 are really 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 kathy on the beach and the schools are just going to keep growing in. the dental college is a liberal arts college with some two thousand students with tuition costing fifty thought. other updates we want to wish. we meet the survivors as they plan the next

steps of their fight for justice against the school. 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 of silence goes beyond the victims.

the u.s.c. campus in los angeles we attempt 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 a man's mind 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 and i don't see the thing 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 important to everyone. because i got to say just. close. because it's a very detailed do so but it's fairly talked about even if it does look just like

all sorts of big critics these specific people use for us like oh somebody look at . it i know that person and you know it's just. good news if you dress correctly you know and it has a bit of i guess a little vents like this and also it wasn't exactly real it's really can't it really offers a space for people who feel good. thanks. this goods hidden by institutions worried about their reputation isn't about. not today. nor tomorrow but the victim's struggle has come to light and shows the desire for change. in the united states violence is often too common 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 mass based which is completely objective store transparent and eternal these relative differences are big point away so to speak and read bring a new paradigm for 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. people who zoom has become very adept at this controlling the media for example. c.n.n. do i think c.n.n. is you know completely telling it like it is no i see have an agenda i think through jim is is bought and paid for. are you in reality relation is still there and it is killing our. they are dying of a heart condition ask most leukemia but the authorities are still hiding the truth from us and i don't know why don't they have children on their own heard so much to know that they can protect our children.
