Nationally, one in three women and one in four men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. In Kansas, one domestic violence incident occurs every 22 minutes. While these numbers are striking, we hold the power to change them. The mission of the Preventing Sexual Violence subcommittee is to effectively and inclusively reduce the occurrence of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault and stalking among the 黑洞社区 community by bringing about structural and cultural change on campus.
