stalking victims experience at least one unwanted contact per week and nearly three in four victims know their offender. Stalking impacts 6.6-7.5 million people a year in the U.S., where one in seven women and one in 18 men are targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Stalking is a Crime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Michigan, stalking is defined as a \u201cwillful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of another individual that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, and\/or harassed.\u201d Stalking is any unwanted contact between a stalker and their target that directly or indirectly communicates a threat or places the victim in fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some stalking behaviors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>repeated and unwanted contact by phone, text, or social media;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>following a person or showing up unexpectedly at locations; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>leaving gifts for their target.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These types of behaviors are unacceptable and illegal; therefore they should be taken seriously and reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Sexual Assault Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual assault will not be tolerated at the University of Michigan-Flint. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, call the Department of Public Safety at 810-762-3333.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Autocorrect\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qk6aauThmW8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Sexual Assault Facts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you are sexually assaulted, you are not to blame, regardless of the circumstances.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If someone has unwanted sexual contact with you without your consent, this is sexual assault, which is a crime.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>About 90% of sexual assaults on campus involve survivors and perpetrators who knew each other (Fisher, et al, 2000).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approximately 50% of reported cases of sexual assault involve alcohol consumption by the survivor, the perpetrator or both (Abbey, et al, 2001).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many rapists attack more than once\u2014one unreported assault may allow one or more additional rapes to occur (Lisak, et al, 2002).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">What Consent Looks Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">University of Michigan-Flint policy states that \u201cConsent is a clear and unambiguous agreement, expressed outwardly through mutually understandable words or actions, to engage in a particular activity. Consent must be voluntarily given and cannot be obtained through coercion or force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, consent doesn\u2019t have to be verbal, but verbally agreeing to different sexual activities can help both you and your partner respect each other\u2019s boundaries. It\u2019s important to recognize that consent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is about communication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Should be given every time<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can be withdrawn at any time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Positive consent can look like this:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Communicating when you change the type or degree of sexual activity with phrases like \u201cIs this OK?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Explicitly agreeing to certain activities, either by saying \u201cyes\u201d or another affirmative statement, like \u201cI\u2019m open to trying.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using physical cues to let the other person know you\u2019re comfortable taking things to the next level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Consent does NOT look like this:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Refusing to acknowledge \u201cno.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assuming that wearing certain clothes, flirting or kissing is an invitation for anything more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being under the legal age of consent, as defined by the state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being incapacitated because of drugs or alcohol.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pressuring someone into sexual activity by using fear or intimidation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assuming you have permission to engage in a sexual act because you\u2019ve done it in the past.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Protecting Yourself in Social Situations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the responsibility and blame for sexual assault lie squarely with the perpetrator, there are proactive steps you can take to protect yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Socialize with people you trust.<\/strong>\u00a0Agree to watch out for each other and plan ahead how you\u2019re getting home. If your plans change, make sure to tell the other people in your group. Don\u2019t leave someone stranded in an unfamiliar or unsafe situation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know your limits.<\/strong>\u00a0According to the National Institute of Justice, alcohol is the substance most frequently used to facilitate sexual assault. As such, it\u2019s important to know your limits. Keep track of how many drinks you\u2019ve had. Also be aware of your friends\u2019 behaviors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Protect your drink.<\/strong>\u00a0Don\u2019t leave your drink unattended. If you go to the bathroom or step outside, take the drink with you or throw it away. Drink only from containers that were given to you unopened or drinks you watched being made and poured. Perpetrators of drug-facilitated sexual assault may use substances that have no color, taste or odor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It\u2019s okay to leave.<\/strong>\u00a0You are never obligated to remain in a situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, pressured or threatened. Excuse yourself from these situations. Potential excuses include: needing to take care of another friend or family member, an urgent\u00a0<strong>phone call, not feeling well or having to be somewhere by a certain time.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be a good friend.<\/strong>\u00a0Trust your instincts and stick together. If you notice something happening with your friend that doesn\u2019t feel right, it probably isn\u2019t.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The University of Michigan is committed to getting our students, faculty and staff home safely, even late at night.

The anonymous survey was an opportunity for survivors to share what materials have been helpful in their healing process; these are the results. In here, you will find books, poetry, songs, movies and shows that survivors have found helpful as a part of their healing process. If you are a survivor, this resource is for you. Not all of these answers will speak to you, but some may.
