Did you know that there is a stretch of time when a college student is more likely to be sexually assaulted than at any other time in their college career? It’s called the Red Zone and according to the Department of Justice, it’s the time between when a student first arrives on campus in late August and Thanksgiving break.1
A Solution
The Password: Consent campaign provides important information about the Red Zone and the tools to facilitate conversation and education on your university and high school campuses to help end it. The toolkit focuses on promoting a culture of healthy relationships where boundaries are respected and consent is the key.
