After Awareness: Training Being prepared is essential especially for situations like this. Here we thrive to get our students mentally, emotionally, and socially prepared for any situation in which they see a victim or in which they fall victim. Bystander prevention is proven to be the most effective way of reducing sexual harassment and assault; therefore, it is essential that everyone has some sort of bystander training. It’ll be our job to train students to know exactly what to do in every case where they sense any sort of negative energy. Another major thing is that, statistically, survivors of any form of sexual assault are more prone to being victims of similar crimes. Our goal will not only to emotionally be there for survivors and give them a sense of home and spirit again, but it’ll also be to prevent them from falling victim to the evils of society again. Our end goal is to award a certificate to those students who participate and complete a given amount of hours. A sense of reward will be motivational for students and will push other students to do the same. We also would consider partnering with Rutgers University and suggest a mandatory short class (for example, 15 hours a semester) where students learn and train in a way that’s similar to what’s mentioned before.
