Domestic Violence Awareness Month is over.
Though, that does not mean we should stop raising the issue of domestic violence.
Domestic violence and dating violence are related to sexual assault, harassment, and stalking.
Many of these crimes have to do with a perpetrator using physical, emotional, financial, relational, professional, or other means to take advantage of and harm a victim.
These issues are pervasive on university campuses, and we will not leave them behind after graduation.
These crimes can be committed by someone holding any function in our lives.
The victims of these crimes are not numbers. Behind every number is a person.
Student publications stands with victims of domestic and sexual violence.
As employees of Oklahoma City University, we are required to inform campus authorities of sexual violence.
Domestic violence is a damaging and destructive force that needs to be stopped.
It is important that we continue to stand against domestic violence after the conclusion of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
