Started by Columbia University students in 2000, Students Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) is the only organization that fights sexual violence and rape culture by empowering student-led campaigns to reform college sexual assault policies. Run by a volunteer collective, SAFER facilitates student organizing through a comprehensive training manual; in-person workshops and trainings; free follow-up; our Campus Sexual Assault Policies Database; and a growing online resource library and network for student organizers. SAFER firmly believes that sexual violence is both influenced by and contributes to multiple forms of oppression, including racism, sexism, and homo/transphobia, and view our anti-sexual violence work through a broader anti-oppression lens.

This Sexual Assault Bill of Rights created by the University of Wisconsin-Madison University Health Services outlines how 犀利士

While this is specific to the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus, other schools may be inspired to form their own Sexual Assault Bill of Rights and bring attention to the kinds of rights and protections students have in a specific state filing a sexual assault report (if they choose to report, ask for an investigation, etc).
