The Red Zone

Did you know that there is a stretch of time when college students are 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. During this time, 1 in 4 undergraduate women are sexually assaulted on campus. This year in 2020 we are reclaiming the red zone by raising awareness and educating college campuses.
