April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Consent plays an important role in determining when sexual assault occurs.

The “What Were You Wearing?” art exhibit at the United Nations invites observers to see the outfits worn by sexual assault survivors at the time of their attack, confronting and refuting the implicit victim-blaming in that question. It reinforces the awareness that sexual consent must be implicit and cannot be implied through clothing.

Additional information and resources on sexual assault are available on LLCC’s website. You may also contact Nikki Baker, compliance and prevention coordinator, at nikki.baker@llcc.edu or 217-786-3426.
