Women's and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary program that explores topics concerning women and gender differences as analyzed by the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. This is the place to find out about campus and regional events related to women's and gender issues. Women's and Gender Studies is an multi-disciplinary program that explores topics concerning women and gender

differences as analyzed by the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Scholarship is inclusive and explores the varying racial, ethnic, and class backgrounds of women. Women's and Gender Studies analyzes the experiences of women and men with respect to sociocultural, social psychological, and biological factors that influence the construction and representation of gender. Women's and Gender Studies courses often involve the investigation of materials previously neglected by scholars, and new methodological and critical approaches to materials customarily treated in other ways. Such courses may thus propose revisions in the content, methods, assumptions, and theories of particular disciplines in light of recent feminist scholarship.

How many cases have you seen get dismissed or dropped because a victim’s reaction “didn’t add up?”

If we don’t understand how trauma impacts a person, we create false expectations of how a victim “should” behave during or after a sexual assault.

Sexual assault is already one of the most underreported crimes. For survivors who choose to report, a significant percentage of those cases are coded as “unfounded” by the criminal justice system. It’s often because their reaction didn’t match what we expected trauma to look like.

Not understanding trauma is a massive training gap that can derail sexual assault investigations.

Close the training gap by registering for an upcoming EVAWI training, check out our events calendar for more: https://evawintl.org/events-calendar/
