Sexual Assault Awareness Month kicked off at the beginning of April at the University of Kansas with the theme âWe Can Build Safe Online Spaces,â intended to raise awareness of the fact that sexual assault, harassment and abuse can also happen on online platforms, not just through physical contact.Â
Jen Brockman, director of the Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Center, said that the educational programs start the awareness conversation on campus. These programs include âJayhawks Give a Flock,â âConsent @ KU,â âSex, Drugs and Alcoholâ and âSexual Violence Recognition and Response.âÂ
âSAPEC provides primary education for sexual violence, intimitate partner violence and stalking,â Brockman said. âWe work with both undergrad and graduate students in a variety of education based programs.
