Abstract: Sexual assault is a widespread issue on college campuses. Although it is often seen as a women's issue, as it affects women at a much higher rate, solutions and activism need to target men not only to avoid ostracizing male survivors but also in order to target all causes of sexual violence, including current power dynamics related to the patriarchy and gender roles. Topics covered include differences in sexual assault incidence, interventions, and the role of male-dominated organizations on college campuses in solutions.
