Sexual Assault Awareness Month committee is partnering with The Tech to
publish a 4-part series about sexual assault issues. The goal of the
series is to diversify the narrative about sexual assault by
highlighting the experiences of activists and victim advocates and
survivors from minority communities, including people of color, LGTBQ
and male survivors. The SAAM committee hopes that the series will
encourage more continuous discussions on campus about sexual assault,
greater empathy for survivors and increased support of institutions and initiatives that aim to prevent sexual assault and support survivors.<br><br>If
you are interested in sharing your personal perspective on
sexual-assault related issues for the series, the SAAM communication
committee looks forward to working with you (email us at: <a href="mailto:saam-comm@mit.edu">saam-comm@mit.edu</a>).
The piece may be published anonymously and should be 800 words or less.
Both the SAAM communication committee and the dedicated Tech editor for
this series can provide you with writing support. Please submit at your own discretion.<br><br><b><span style="color:rgb(153,0,0)">6.
