Making people aware that sex without consent is sexual assault, identifying situations in which sexual assault might happen, pledging to intervene in these situations and creating an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported can help end sexual violence.

Take the pledge to do all of the above, and then let your friends know #ItsOnUs to stop sexual assault.

Some examples:
#IHaveTheRightTo find my voice and to use it when I am ready.
#IHaveTheRightTo be called a survivor, not an “alleged victim” or “accuser”.
#IHaveTheRightTo spend time with someone and be safe.

When it comes to abuse and violence, one way you can make a difference is to volunteer at a local rape crisis center. These centers have volunteers and staff who operate 24/7 crisis telephone hotlines and they are trained on issues surrounding sexual violence and can provide access to other local resources as well.

Sign up below to find a local crisis center near you through RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network) where you can apply to volunteer. If you become a volunteer, come back and click on “Done It!” to let us know. You may be contacted by Sex, Etc. to learn more about how you made a difference in your community!
