Sexual Assault Activism - Katie Schuldenberg

High School sophomore Bella was sexually assaulted in 2015 and has been taking action every since. Making t-shirts and wrist bands, this teen spreads awareness of sexual assault among high schoolers and strives to create change in the way these serious crimes are dealt with. Inspiring other students, and even causing some victims to come forward, Bella starts sit-ins to protest the way sexual assault cases are handled by local schools.
Though sexual assault among teens and young adults has been occuring for decades. awareness is now taking place and changes in how school systems handle these cases provide a start to a safer environment. A place where students feel safe and comfortable enough to talk and speak out against violence is necessary for change to take place.

    Sexual assault is a serious problem. And school administrators' inability to handle these situations show their carelessness for their students who they seemed to promise safety for. Schools must take more action.

    Having sexual assaults happen is something that is not only traumatic but also very dangerous. Teachers should show more initiative into the stop of this
