A comprehensive New Hampshire law passed last year relative to sexual assault in institutions of higher education that provides additional protections and services to victims is now serving as an inspiration to activists in other states who are looking to enact similar legislation.
Andrew Echols, a junior at New Mexico State University, became involved in New Mexico’s Every Voice branch just a few weeks before the legislation passed in New Hampshire last June, and he said seeing that happen was a big motivator.
