The U.S. Department of Education’s 2011 College and Career Assessment Survey, which asks women about their experiences with dating violence and sexual assault, revealed a startling statistic: about one-third of college women have been victims of physical violence and one-third have been involved with sexual assault. The number is even higher among women who say they were victims of both types of violence.
According to the survey, women between the ages of 18 and 24 are three times more likely to report experiencing sexual assault and sexual violence than men. And it’s not just men, either. The survey shows that women are twice as likely as men to report being the victim of physical violence, and half of girls report being the victim of physical aggression by a male friend.
The survey also found that, despite this, only 25% of college women reported being victims of sexual assault. This may not sound like too much, but it’s quite the deal because it means that the majority of women have no idea how to intervene in any situation. But that’s not to say that women in college are less likely to actually do anything about sexual assault.
This is because sexual assault is not a common problem for women, and is not just a “women’s issue.
That’s why I’m not surprised that the survey found that a large portion of college women are just not aware how to intervene in situations where an individual might abuse them. They don’t know what to do, they don’t know where to go, they don’t know who to call. It’s a very common scenario for college women.
To be fair, this study did not directly ask women whether they had experienced sexual assault, but that doesn’t mean that the study isn’t relevant. The survey is not a perfect measure of sexual assault risk, but it’s still a good way to get an idea of the problem.
Some women’s experiences with sexual assault are worse than others, but more than half of college women are at risk of being sexually assaulted in some way or another at some point in their lives, and they have had no way to know. In most cases though, the response of the victim is “I’m too embarrassed” or “I just didn’t think of it.
So, the study is not perfect, but it does give an idea of the problem. As someone who is going through a hard time at college, I have to admit I didnt realize there was a problem until I had to report it to the dean of my college. I was so embarrassed that I ended up at a party where people were drinking, and I ended up pregnant. I dont know much about sexual assault yet, but I do know that it sucks. It was horrible.
