Virginia Tech Women's Center

The CARES Program is currently accepting submissions for the "What Were You Wearing" exhibit.

The ‘What Were You Wearing?’ Exhibit is intended to dispel the common myth that clothing can indicate consent and/or invite s*xual assault. We invite survivors to share their story with us if they feel comfortable doing so. All submissions will be displayed anonymously. Submissions are due by March 16th.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
