The Violence Awareness and Response Program at Minnesota State University, Mankato in collaboration with the Fraternity and Sorority Life on campus organized the Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention program Tuesday. The event took place in the Centennial Student Union Ballroom. Members from fraternities and sororities gathered to raise awareness and partake in discussions around topics pertaining to sexual assault and violence.
The event incorporated numerous engaging activities. Members collaboratively participated in these activities that aimed to help students’ consciousness around the meaning of consent and discussed tactics to prevent assault scenarios from unfolding.
One of the main highlights of the night was the “In Her Shoes” activity. The activity was a scenario-based experience where members, divided into small groups, walked through different sexual assault scenarios that were based on real-life experiences of teens. Members essentially walked through storylines by creating their own paths and predicted how the victim would have potentially handled the situation.
