Consent Is Everything Series: Community Dinner And Dialogue
March 11, 7:30-8:30 pm

Let’s talk about sex, because it turns out the most important part of cultivating a healthy sex life and healthy sexuality is to talk about it. This 4-part series will focus on different subjects surrounding sex, sexuality, healthy relationships, sexual assault prevention…etc. In the second session of this series, we will discuss the documentary “Audrie and Daisy”. This documentary explores the story of two teenage girls who pass out while intoxicated at high school parties and, while unconscious, both are sexually assaulted by boys they call friends. In the aftermath, the girls each endure online harassment, both attempt suicide, and tragically, one dies…unfortunately, this is not were the story ends. We will also discuss the ongoing effects of sexual assault on survivors and those who support them. Sign up using the Consent Is Everything Series form by Tuesday, March 9 at noon. Dinner will be provided. The on-campus location and Zoom link option will be shared with registered participants. If you have any questions, please email thenjwc@su.edu.

I Am Evidence Movie Screening
March 15, 7:00 pm
Brandt Student Center, Room 123

Narrated by Mariska Hargitay, the movie tells the story of four survivors whose rape kits went untested for years, following them as they navigate their way through the criminal justice system and learn that so often, the system is broken. The film reveals the historic nature of the way we treat the crime of sexual assault in this country, and the positive effects that occur when perpetrators are held accountable and survivors are given an opportunity for healing and justice. Join us for a talkback session following our screening. Register to attend this event. For more information, please contact the [Not Just] Women’s Center at thenjwc@su.edu.
