You Are Not Alone

Respect • Educate • Empower Survivors

We’re here.
We hear you.

If you have experienced sexual violence, know that it is not your fault and you are not alone.

Sexual violence is prevalent on campuses around the world.

We partner with students and anti-violence activists from colleges and universities to raise awareness, promote change, and above all, support survivors. There is power in sharing our stories.

Why might I consider using REES?

Sometimes survivors do not wish to make a report to police or participate in an investigation and complaints process. A REES Report allows survivors to have their voice heard and their experience acknowledged anonymously, without making a formal report.

Thank you to the campus survivors, students and activists for inspiring us with your courage and commitment.
