Student organization helps assault victims

Six out of every 1,000 college students in the United States, are victims of sexual assault, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Molly R. Morris, a senior psychology major, wants to see that figure decline. That desiret led her to start a new organization this semester called Revoking Silence, designed for students who have been victims of sexual assault or domestic violence. “I feel as though UNM does not take the needed steps to help survivors and instead pushes them aside or ignores them, which is why I decided to join Revoking Silence,” she said.
