Collegiate Legal Relief
Sexual assault and fraternity/sorority hazing have unfortunately become prevalent issues on college campuses across the United States.
Background
According to recent studies, 1 in 5 college women and 1 in 16 college men are sexually assaulted during their time in college and the majority occur within the first two years of school.
More than 50% of college students involved in fraternities, sororities, or different clubs and organizations experience hazing to some degree.
With over 95% of incidents going unreported, hazing activities can range from verbal abuse and humiliation to physical harm and dangerous rituals. Thus, perpetuating a culture of silence and impunity.
Victims of sexual assault and hazing often face significant physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. This includes PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), depression and anxiety disorders, substance abuse issues, and even academic and social challenges.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a voice for victims of sexual assault and hazing on college campuses and become part of a movement to drive meaningful change in how campuses address these cases.
We hold institutions accountable for their duty to provide the safest and enriching environments for students. Negligence, lack of policies, and failure to address these assault cases must be rectified.
Our efforts are focused on preventing future incidents and ensuring justice for current victims.
If you or someone you know is a victim of sexual assault and/or hazing on a college campus, you may be entitled to compensation.
