Abuse does not stay offline. Phones can become tools of control.

Digital abuse can look like:
Demanding your location at all times
Sending threats or nonstop messages
Logging into your accounts
Sharing or threatening to share private images

Your phone, your passwords, and your images belong to you. If someone is using technology to control you, you can get help.

Myths keep abuse hidden. Facts help people get free.

Myth: It only counts if it's physical.
Fact: Emotional, sexual, financial, and digital abuse are abuse too.

Myth: It doesn't happen to college students.
Fact: Dating violence is common among young adults, including students.

Myth: If it were that bad, they would leave.
Fact: Leaving is complicated. It can also be the most dangerous time.

Myth: Only women experience abuse.
Fact: People of any gender or sexual orientation can experience abuse.

Knowing the facts is how we show up for survivors.

If you have experienced abuse, it is not your fault.

Nothing you said, wore, or did caused it. Staying, leaving, or not knowing yet does not make you weak.

You deserve to be believed. You deserve support on your terms. When you are ready, people at CMU are ready to listen.

We are with you. Always.

Awareness is where it starts. Action is what survivors need.

Three things you can do this week:
Learn the signs and share them.
Save a resource in your phone, for yourself or a friend.
Speak up when someone jokes about abuse or blames a survivor.

Small actions add up. Together, they build a campus where survivors feel safe coming forward.

Red flags in a relationship do not always look obvious.

They can show up as guilt, pressure, constant checking in, jealousy, isolation, or someone refusing to respect a boundary.

One message may not tell the whole story. Patterns matter.

If someone regularly makes you feel guilty for spending time with friends, pressures you after you say no, demands constant proof of where you are, or blames you for their behavior, pay attention to that pattern.

Healthy relationships make room for trust, privacy, boundaries, friendships, and your right to make your own choices.

If something feels off, you do not have to figure it out alone.

Healthy relationships have room for you. Controlling ones slowly take it away.

Some early signs to notice:
Your partner checks your phone or demands your passwords
They get angry when you spend time with friends
You change plans to avoid upsetting them
They make you feel like everything is your fault

None of this means you did something wrong. If it sounds familiar, you can talk to someone. The IEX Office is here.

Admiral Levine discusses health equity, gender-affirming care

Admiral Rachel Levine, the former U.S. assistant secretary for health and four‑star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, visited Carnegie Mellon on Sept. 29 for a conversation about the future of health equity and LGBTQ+ healthcare.

Levine became the first openly transgender person to hold a position that requires Senate confirmation when former President Joe Biden nominated her for Assistant Secretary of Health for the Department of Health and Human Services.

Last week’s talk was sponsored by different organizations across campus, including the Office of Institutional Equity and Title IX and the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion. Her visit comes amid significant changes in LGBTQ+ healthcare across Pennsylvania and the nation as a whole.

Domestic violence is not only physical. It is a pattern of control.

That control can look like:
Hitting, pushing, or grabbing
Constant put-downs or threats
Controlling money, phones, or who you see
Pressuring or forcing sexual activity
Tracking your location or reading your messages

It happens in dating relationships, marriages, and families. It happens to college students, and It can happen to you or your friend.

Naming it is the first step toward stopping it.
