An issue at the University of Kansas is the lack of a center solely for sexual assault survivors on campus. We want our university to provide resources and services to students who were assaulted in a manner that makes it easy for them like bringing together all of the existing resources under one roof. This also includes creating a better communication system so survivors so don't need to repeat their stories to various offices. The new center needs workers who are caring and empathetic to survivors.

The stories shared in the comments prove that the current system forces students to relive their trauma far too many times. I am currently prepping a formal proposal for the administration to centralize these resources under one roof. Post this link on Facebook and email your department head to demand they review our demands.

The momentum behind this push proves that our campus is ready for a dedicated center for survivors. Log onto Facebook and post this link to keep the pressure on the administration. Text three friends right now and tell them why centralized resources matter for our community.

Survivors of sexual assault deserve to have their voices heard, every time, and need better resources on campus to make their stories known.

This is something that is "swept under the rug" and ignored and needs to be addressed
