About RAINN Day
College age women are 4 times more likely to be victims of sexual assault.
RAINN Day at the University of Arizona
RAINN Day is RAINN's annual campaign to stop sexual assault on college campuses. In 2008, RAINN Day reached over 1,000,000 students in all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and Canada with information on how to reduce their risk of sexual violence and what to do if they or a friend have been assaulted. Students and volunteers raised awareness through fundraising and educational events, volunteer drives, speakers, petitions, posters, and passing out RAINN Day cards and volunteer handouts.
