1 in 5 women and 1 in 33 men are sexually assaulted in their lifetime
44% of these assaults occur before the age of 18.
It is time we critically examine the existing implications at the high school level.
On Saturday, November 17th, Georgetown Day School will be
hosting the Third Annual Summit on Sexual Assault and Consent.
The GDS Policy Institute on Sexual Assault and Consent is dedicated to making an impact in the greater Washington area and beyond. Our goal is to use the Summit to educate and engage our community as well as inspire others to do the same. Participants will have the opportunity to explore the complexity of sexual assault and consent issues guided by experts in this field and supported by their peers. This conference will bring secondary school students, faculty, administrators, and parents together to examine current laws, policies, and programs established to support survivors, advocate for rights, and prevent sexual assault. Participants will then apply this knowledge to their own communities where they can design initiatives and prompt culture change.
We invite teams of 6 per school (4 students and 2 faculty/administrators) who are leaders of their community and are ready to engage in thoughtful and critical discussion. For those who have participated in the past, we welcome you back to continue the conversation with new topics and an expanded line-up of experts.
