Sexual assault should be on everyone’s minds this week.If the numerous sexual assaults over the past year, particularly some disturbingly violent ones, haven’t mobilized campus already, Take Back the Night Week should. Awareness of sexual assault is a needed step in healing victims and preventing future ones, and TBTN, the week-long event that launched Monday and is sponsored by the Women’s Center, makes that understanding its top priority.Students hear too frequently about sexual assaults when they occur near or around campus through the Department of Public Safety and news outlets like THE HOYA – but there are numerous forms of sexual violence that remain unknown and unreported because many are uninformed about all the forms sexual assault can take.The dialogue created by TBTN is meant to dissolve preconceived notions about sexual assault and provide a climate for learning and healing. But what is so striking about the events this week was their inclusive nature and relevance to all members of the community. “Mythbusters: Dating Violence and Sexual Assault,” an event held on Wednesday night, brought to light the more localized and often under-reported abuse that can silently plague people in relationships. It is often an eye-opening experience when people learn just how pervasive sexual assault is; its commonplace occurrence is startling on and off the Hilltop. TBTN’s focus on building awareness brings together the perspectives and experiences of both males and females in a constructive and unifying manner.As a community that exalts and embraces the phrase cura personalis, we can do our part beyond this one week to make awareness of sexual assault key to formation of the whole person. Healing victims through solidarity and helping to prevent future crimes through broadened understanding should not just be goals of TBTN, but of the Georgetown community as a whole.”
