The Women and Gender Resource center at UA is holding several events for students this month to spread awareness for sexual assualt as April is National Sexaul Assault Awareness month. With sexual assault being a top issue in the country on our college campuses, it is highly important for college students of both genders to be informed and take a stand. The Huffington Post has shared that an average of 21 percent of female undergraduate students had experienced sexual assault since entering college, and 34 percent had experienced it in their lifetime. That number is both 21 and 34 percent too high. We encourage everyone to attend these events held by the WGRC and stay informed about sexual assault and how you can take a stand.
For more information on these events, please contact the Women and Gender Resource Center at 205-348-5040 or visit their website at wgrc.ua.edu.
