This is a copy of the 300 flyers that were distributed throughout campus
on Friday, 19 March 2004.

An interesting point is that we walked the grounds and distributed flyers from 5-8pm. When we checked e-mail at 8:30pm, there were already 5 e-mail messages waiting for us! Four were from students who had been previously assaulted - they noticed our flyers in the libraries and contacted us immediately. Those first notes confirmed that we were right to bring attention to this issue.

The CAVALIER DAILY, the UVA student run daily newspaper, ran a front page story about the flyers and website on Tuesday, 23 March 2004.

The CAVALIER DAILY continued to cover the issue of campus sexual assault throughout the year.  Many of the writer's stories and editorials can be found by clicking on "In the Media" on the main side Navigation Bar.

This website was created to inform Parents, Students, and Alumni about the University of Virginia's ineffective response to the crime of sexual assault.  Support "ZERO TOLERANCE FOR RAPE!"

Alumnae and Undergrads: We are seeking information on the following:
1) Witnesses for a pending lawsuit that involves a UVA Alumni. If you (or someone you know) were made to have non-consensual sex with the male pictured on the homepage anytime during 2003-2006, you may be able to provide key evidence for an upcoming civil trial.
2) Survivors - Did you take your case to the Albemarle Commonwealth Attorney Rick Moore, only to be turned away? Were you upset by any of the comments made to you by the Police or Commonwealth Attorney's office? During a Take Back the Night Rally, several women shared comments about the comments made to them by these offices. We'd like to chat with these women and explore the similar way the cases have been handled.

Contact us immediately because IF YOU STAY SILENT, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. ALL comments and tips will be treated with complete anonymity. Send your e-mail to  uvarape@cox.net. It's the right thing to do.
