UH Hilo Title IX

☀️ It is a beautiful day to complete the campus climate survey☀️

Aloha kākou! 🤙🏾

The Campus Climate Survey on Sexual Harassment & Gender Based Violence has dropped! A customized link to the online survey will be emailed to all UH students at their hawaii.edu.

The issue of sexual assault and gender-based violence is prevalent on college campuses nationwide. The University of Hawaii has made significant progress towards addressing this critical problem, but we can do more.

Campus climate surveys are important tools.
These surveys measure the prevalence of gender-based violence on campus and gauge students’ attitudes and behavior.

Your thoughts and experiences will help us understand how to provide a safe environment.

Also, there are gift cards available for early responses each week!

76% of intimate partner femicide victims have been stalked by their intimate partner.

“The casual use of the word “stalking” can decrease the likelihood that victims will accurately identify and report stalking.” Language matters.

The majority of stalking victims are stalked by someone they know. 76% of intimate partner femicide victims have been stalked by their intimate partner. 57% of stalking victims were stalked during the relationship.

Documentation of stalking is crucial. Recording information will help to document the behavior for protection order applications. Big mahalo to for providing a behavior log:https://www.stalkingawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/SPARC_StalkingLogInstructions_2018_FINAL.pdf

If a stalking victim talks to you, your response significantly impacts if they feel validated and/or seek help. Check out these resources for supporting friends & loved ones experiencing stalking.
