We should think about privacy

Not everybody is open-minded, and we should think about privacy as well, so based on the mentality of the victim, we can decide what to do. I guess it would be of great help if the policy contained all the privacy information.

Recommendations

  • Use an app or other tool that allows students to anonymously ask questions about sexual violence and university policies against sexual violence.

  • In the policy itself and in materials and presentations promoting the policy, define "confidential" and "anonymous," and explain how these concepts pertain to the policy, university-based sexual assault services, and the limits on confidentiality and anonymity.
