Sexual assault continued from page 1 stranger to rape. “A friend, boyfriend, girlfriend or even a spouse — it is almost al ways someone the victim knows,” Levine said. The month will feature a variety of discussion sections, a charity volleyball tournament, movies and speakers. Sexual Assault Sup port Services community educa tor Janet Fiskio added that the month is meant to envision the fu ture without violence. But this year’s events aren’t only for sexual assault victims. There will be a two-day training on May 6 and 7 conducted by the Alliance for Sexual Assault Prevention for students, community members and faculty to learn skills that will help them provide support to sur vivors of sexual assault. Levine said participants gain active listening skills and the abil ity to communicate things suppor tively to empower the survivors, in turn giving them the power to make their own decisions. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Alliance will spon sor a free showing Thursday of the Academy Award-winning film “Boys Don’t Cry” at 7 p.m. The film and discussion afterward fo cuses on the story of the film’s transgendered subject, Brandon Teena, who was raped and mur dered when people discovered he was born female. Levine said the film shows how rape can be used as a form of hate crime. Byron McCrae, assistant dean of Student Life and coordinator for the ASAP, emphasized the notion that society puts much shame on victims of sexual assault. McCrae said young women are not given enough opportunities to ask ques tions about sexual assault. “It is important for people who have experienced sexual assault to hear ‘It’s not your fault,’” Levine said. “It is not the victim’s respon sibility to stop sexual assault. It is the responsibility of the rapist not to rape.” Sexual Assault Support Ser vices is also co-sponsoring the 22nd annual Take Back the Night on May 18 in conjunction with the ASUO Women’s Center. Women’s Center event coordi nator Jennie Breslow said the march’s long history has been es tablished in Eugene and nation wide. The event will start at 7 p.m. in the EMU Amphitheater with music and sign making. “Participants will make signs that they can carry during the march like ‘Women unite, take back the night,”’ Breslow said. Sexual Assault Support Ser vices will also display the national Clothesline Project during Take Back the Night. “It is a dramatic and moving art display that bears witness to the impact of sexual assault and abuse of women because the T-shirts are made by survivors,” Fiskio said. A rally and speakers are sched uled at 8 p.m., followed by a march to head downtown through the streets of Eugene. The march ends at Eighth Avenue and Oak Street, where a speak-out by vic tims of sexual assault will take place. “The first march took place in San Francisco,” Breslow said. “The idea was for one evening women would be able to take the streets and feel safe as a group and the community could hear their voices.'’ Breslow said the night’s events are expected to attract between 500 to 750 people.
