SAFER is a national non-profit organization committed
to empowering students to hold colleges accountable for sexual assault
in their on- and off-campus communities.
SAFER achieves its goals by training students in effective
organizing tactics and challenging them to examine the overlapping links
between sexual assault and all forms of individual and institutional violence.

Where: SAFER, 25 Washington St., 4th floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201
What does your school do if someone is sexually assaulted on campus?
Does it alert the community? What happens to the survivor?
What if the perpetrator is another student?
Does the school treat white survivors differently than survivors of
color? What if the survivor is not a student?
Most students don't know the answers to these essential questions.
Colleges rarely admit that sexual assault is a problem on their campus,
and this silence leaves students confused and uninformed about campus
responses to violence.
The SAFER Teach-In will give you the information you need to begin
improving your sexual assault policy. Participants learn to analyze a
sexual assault policy with an experienced SAFER Trainer, and set goals
for making improvements. The Teach-In is a first step toward creating an
effective, meaningful response to sexual assault on your campus.
