Support for Sexual Assault Survivors
On a very public stage and in our community, we are witnessing the ongoing marginalization of women and sexual assault survivors. We at CAPS stand with all sexual assault survivors and do not condone any form of sexual violence. We believe personal experiences both reported and unreported matter. We recognize that women of color, members of LGBTQ and gender non-binary communities, and individuals with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by sexual violence. We at CAPS are committed to providing a safe and confidential space for all students impacted by any form of sexual violence.
Remember to take care of yourself and those around you.
