her assailant was a boyfriend. do you remember anything that happened last night and we had. said yeah we had said no no and his face slack and. 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 the environment where i knew about date rape but i didn't and this is something that people don't 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 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 students 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 whistleblower and a form of fertility member. despite the risks. i had this may be the throw mantic 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 if things like god or some kind of. 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 on your friends on bar duty you know would help to get someone so girl drunk or you know differ. drinking games would be played on the bar

and you know brothers were kind of collude to forget certain target you know i mean it sounds funny talking about a threat if 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 toss it into the stream 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 there's the truth there's a lie. so what do you do you investigate and it's never a he's. she said trees there are always there are witnesses there are. these

cases including some pretty standard forensic evidence. complaints filed by the victims. at. the catholic university with an impeccable reputation and famous for its. fifteen thousand students. up to sixty thousand. feet. is a really special place and you wouldn't really know unless you're here. people tell you about it but you never really realize that it's a family. and not just an awesome awesome place to be there's

a big tradition the school about. to hear it is not. tailgating. this whole area would be covered with people. this is basically. a lot of girls have four guys.

the next day she filed a complaint with the university and tried to get justice. a friend caylee was there the day after. the morning after. she came to me. something that happened when she got over it 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 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 young girl 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 i started crying harder 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. in what happened 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 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 a 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 and the discretion. do exist. at the new england school a lawyer and activist wendy murphy is fighting the university's 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 bask. 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. little.

cross talk rules and if it doesn't you can jump in anytime you want. sweden or finland to bring deep to join nato that would provoke some sort of free action on the part of russia far as the military calculus is concerned not what faces humanity the west north and south lawn of it can't be solved by military means or craft or satellites or nuclear weapons military is outdated it should go like cannibalism and slavery and child labor it doesn't belong to civilization to kill each other. there was. dropped out of the sky.

by the speed but you know just astronomical speeds. but it. was the polish face. pleasure to have you with us here today i'm sure. the strategies they condemn the silence the 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. school knows about student on student harassment 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

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 like it does when you're with friends instead 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. dormitory on campus. here with his roommates in the door. talking and joking. it is far from a plus. if you.

think about. analyzing everything and. wishing that i could go back in how i. hold retrospective what would you have done differently. and. paranoid. no one 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 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'll lose and i you know i didn't want to be told by the school that i had been there a link how do you deal with that girl complaining about the son of an alumni who gives millions of dollars to 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 on imitating what they've seen that's a that's a really narrow and 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 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 survive his associations 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. today really i hear people yelling fire or easing the legal system to say protests too many young women and men on their campus who have banks actually soft raped frats battered my name's lisa chronic and 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 very few sign campus that the school is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of all of its students and totally are at the playing three and encouraging this group we're going to do this together. and big girls don't cry danielle. that's. going on right one to think i don't mind yes . yes 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 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 the marketing director tricia

lange whose explanations remains rather unclear. right now 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 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. that i was 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 the 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 one complaint filed their clear complaint 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 and if the. occidental college is a liberal arts college with some two thousand students with tuition costing fifty thousand. other updates are we want to wish last night 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. of the u.s.c. campus in los angeles we attempt to take back to night's events 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 as 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 them think about women's issues as being just for women. actually i don't think they're kind of civil rights issues which i'm sure important that everyone. knows about because it's just. close. because it's a very tell do so but just barely talked about it even if it does look just like all sorts of big these specific people use for us like oh somebody like me i don't know that person i'm. just. saying if you dress correctly you know and it has it oh god yeah doing events like this and also the time to the real it's really can't really offer a space for people who feel good. this

scourge 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 in the fight has only just begun. was. the tried to. pull out of. life

or destroy every bit of. the money no law no weapon. like. most cases meet. sometimes from nothing. just still will be just if you see a stage eight look to be. but each other. these aren't just soldiers this spits no soldier's russia's internal special forces

but being tough and good with a gun may not be enough of these extreme tests. only the most capable will be to the end. but. those whose dreams can help way exhaustion in the ranks put themselves through fire smoke and water but not for money or promotion all say . is the coveted crimson bear or. eugenics but eugenics vulgarize ation of darwin science punishment for an uncommitted crying i was never the least one for believing in eighty feebleminded still today for the few i don't know why. but i still don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology they don't stop at just sterilizing yet not going to now go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed. till now i'd really rather not talk about that right.

i know c.n.n. m s n b c fox news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be a. guy that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might take. off. for good it's because one whole attention in the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on your good company. and our teen years we have a different pretty. good though because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. after.
