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.
