00:12And I said yes, because I knew my mom would kill me if I said anything else.
00:18The first few weeks I made some of my best friends,
00:21but two of us were sexually assaulted before classes had even started.
00:25I went to the Dean of Students office and she said,

01:36Has no one connected the dots before?
01:38These students went from sexual assault victims to survivors and now activists.
01:43This is a national problem.
01:52I was getting threatened.
01:55It was working in their favor to silence me.
01:57I was terrified.
