We are involved with a number of initiatives to raise awareness about sexual assault prevention. Each November we have Rape Awareness Week and in April we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Activities during the year range from Take Back the Night to the Clothesline Project.

Clothesline Project

We display t-shirts created by or for survivors and victims of sexual violence. The project gives a voice to those who have been affected by sexual violence, as well as to anyone who wishes to speak out on the issue.

Self-Defense Classes

OUPD Sgt. J. Timothy Tucker teaches women skills to protect themselves from potential physical harm. This vital information can help women take control of negative situations and avoid becoming victims of violence.

White Ribbon Campaign

A celebration of men who’ve pledged to help end violence against women! Men who promise “to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls” can sport white ribbons. Women can wear teal ribbons to raise awareness, too. During this week we feature posters of Sooner men who have taken the pledge.
