High rates of intimate partner violence and sexual assault represent a public health crisis that directly affects the health and safety of many Americans. On college campuses, the epidemic is even more pronounced. College students are especially vulnerable to experiencing violent and controlling behaviors at the hands of current and former intimate partners.
Some examples:

  • 43% of dating college women report experiencing some form of violent and abusive dating behaviors, including physical, sexual, technological, or emotional abuse (Knowledge Networks, 2011).
  • More than 40% of LGBTQI+-identified college students report that they have experienced violence in their current relationships (Edwards & Sylaska, 2014).
  • More than half of college students surveyed (57%) said that it’s difficult to identify intimate partner violence, and 58% said that they don’t know what to do to help someone who is experiencing it (Knowledge Networks, 2011).

Therefore, the prevention of intimate partner violence must focus on North Carolina’s 100+ college campuses, as well as our broader communities. It is also important for college students and the staff and faculty that serve them to be able to get information about the programs and services that are offered on their campuses and/or in their local communities.
