Sexual Assault in the Criminal Justice System

Violence Awareness Week Flyer

 

On Thursday, March 31st , I attended an event that was headed by my close friend. The topic of the event was sexual assault in the criminal justice system. It was one of the most memorable events that I have been to so far.

The goals behind this event addresses an issue that is very prevalent today. Not only did it delve into the process of a regular case of sexual assault through the justice system, but it brought up many of the injustices that the victims face. What I enjoyed most about this event was the open discussion that ensued after the presentation. Moments like that, where a group of people who are genuinely interested in a topic and strive to learn more through open discussion, are what make my college experience worth it. I have learned that the best way to become more aware and knowledgable about a topic is to be open with others. It is a beautiful thing when a group of people help each other better recognize a problem and look for solutions. When that occurs, any goal is possible. That skill will stay with me throughout my life and I am proud to be able to use it extensively.
