Colleges play a crucial role in preventing sexual violence by implementing comprehensive policies, programs, and procedures. College administrators have a responsibility for creating and maintaining effective prevention practices as well as fostering a safe environment, culture, and community. Student groups also play a vital role by holding their university accountable, hosting trainings, and educating members. Students, faculty, and other individuals can take action by challenging rape culture and being active bystanders. Combining the power of individuals, student groups, and college administration ensures that campuses prevent sexual violence.
