Getting the word out

Thanks to the DePaulia, SHA is getting some recognition!

We're happy that the school newspaper is noticing the importance of sexual health education at DePaul and what we're doing to promote it. The paper highlights DePaul's embarrassing ranking as LAST on Trogan's assessment of sexual health information and resources. It also underscores the need for more to be done on campus.


"The thing that we really need students to know is that we really need their voices heard in order to convince the administration that change should happen. Unless students come forward and say that this is important to them, unfortunately, the school feels no reason to change things."
-SHA's staff member, Alicia Oeser


"We want to make sex and sexual health an ongoing discussion at DePaul. We don't want it to just be a one-time thing or event, we want it to always be talked about and the importance of it to be stressed"
-SHA's president, Stephanie DeLacy

What is Consent?

April is SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH
And, to promote awareness on campus, SHA is doing a campaign to spread the word about consent and what it means to students. Today was our first day having a table in the student center and we got a great response! Look for our "Consent is ______" signs on campus.

Beginning the conversation about consent is a good way to open up communication about sexual assault and how to prevent violence against women. We would love to hear what you have to say. SHA tables will be in the student center this week and next week, so feel free to stop by and share your opinions.
