...flurry of white ribbons across campus as Harvard continues a week-long campaign against violence toward women. Students are wearing ribbons from Dec. 6 to Dec. 13 to show their support for the international movement, which is sponsored here by the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (OSAPR) and an assortment of student groups and administrative bodies. “It’s to raise dialogue, bring it out to the open,” said Matthew G.

Each piece addresses an experience with sexual assault with varying degrees of subtlety...

Hamilton ’07, a peer educator at the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response at Harvard (OSAPR).“There’s always that kid with all these technical questions,” Hamilton said, “‘Is it sexual assault if I do this? How about this?’ Students sometimes focus on splitting legal hairs instead of promoting...
