It’s On Us was launched in September 2014 following recommendations from the White House Task Force to Prevent Sexual Assault. It is a national nonprofit organization that realizes the importance of engaging everyone in the conversation to end s*xual violence. It’s On Us calls on everyone - students, parents, community leaders, and companies - to step up and be a part of the solution. The four mai
n goals of the It’s On Us campaign are:
- To recognize that non-consensual s*x is s*xual assault
- To identify situations in which s*xual assault make occur
- To intervene in situations where consent has not or cannot be given
- To create an environment in which s*xual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported
It’s On Us aims to end s*xual assault on college campuses around the country through three main actions:
- Consent education
- Increasing bystander intervention
- Creating an environment that supports survivors
Here at Brown, we are dedicated to ending s*xual assault on our campus. Throughout the year, we will be hosting events on campus to create awareness and further education about consent and s*xual assault, provide resources and a safe environment for survivors of s*xual assault, and encourage all members of our Brown community to take a pledge against s*xual assault. Take the pledge today at www.ItsOnUs.org and help us bring an end to s*xual assault, both at Brown and around the country.
