Summary

"Me too. It happened to me too."

More than one in five women and 5 percent of men are sexually assaulted while at college. Some survivors are coming forward; others are not. In We Believe You, students from every kind of college and university—large and small, public and private, highly selective and less so—share experiences of trauma, healing, and everyday activism, representing a diversity of races, economic and family backgrounds, gender identities, immigration statuses, interests, capacities, and loves. Theirs is a bold, irrefutable sampling of voices and stories that should speak to all.

Author Biography

Annie Clark and Andrea Pino are lead complainants in the Title IX investigation of UNC-Chapel Hill, where they studied political science. They also co-founded End Rape on Campus, an organization dedicated to survivor support, public education, and policy reform. With Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Clark and Pino helped to draft the currently pending bipartisan Campus Safety and Accountability Act for the U.S. Congress.
