Innovative Ways to Prevent Sexual Violence

Most of us have watched the bystander intervention video and learned in what situations to apply it to. When this type of intervention comes to mind, we think the worst and consider the seriousness of the situation. This is why, I was surprised when during this event we learned about fun practical ways that colleges have been trying to prevent sexual violence from occurring. For instance, the coat rack idea was not something I considered before, but it is a good idea for party environments where sexual violence is more prominent. Small ideas like this one could have a strong impact on campus, but it makes me wonder how do we solve this issue as a whole. As Weiss explained it is a phenomenon that is hard to understand and address. I hope that we could expand these ideas, such as the coat rack, off campus and find other ways to help society with this problem.
