The Hunting Grounds-Bronson Engel
This song and documentary has helped me and my fellow peers about the seriousness of rape and not only the action itself but how the authorities and the people in charge decide to handle it. All of those women in the documentary were so brave to come forth in front of the world and share their stories hoping that it will influence and inspire those who have been raped to tell someone and stand up for themselves. I feel like in order to get people to believe that this is a big issue happening in many institutions is to show them this documentary and let them listen to the song so that they can sympathize with the people that are struggling with this. The goal is not only to raise the awareness but it's to warn these young girls and boys going to college for the first year that aren't educated on how common sexual assault is and how easy it is for it to occur to you. The organization SurvJustice was founded by Laura Dunn from the University of Wisconsin-Madison as she was graduating from law school. This organization helps survivors of sexual assault find justice by providing legal assistance, policy advocacy, and institutional training. They receive their funding by donations through their website. They are portrayed negatively in the news because they help students file reports on colleges that don't take their sexual assault seriously.
