Need help understanding what is changing and what is staying the same under the new Title IX Rule?
It’s hard to keep track of all the 2020 Title IX changes that are coming and what they will mean for students. NVRDC created this handout to breakdown that information and explain how Title IX proceedings may change after the August 14th implementation date.
This handout is intended for student-survivors, but can also address questions the public may have about the rule changes.

The Red Zone: Sexual Violence Resources & Information for DC College Students
The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for college students, but it also marks the start of the something known as the “red zone.” One in 5 women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college, more than 50% of those sexual assaults occur during the “red zone,” which takes place throughout August, September, October, and November.
As DC college and university students head back to school for a new year, we want to empower them with knowledge, information, and resources about sexual assault.
