EDUCATION about and PREVENTION against gender and relationship violence

Higher Education

We believe colleges and universities can and should do more to prevent gender and relationship violence. We work to provide higher education institutions with training opportunities and resources to improve their prevention and response efforts to sexual violence, partner violence, and stalking on campus.
At least 1 in 5 women experience sexual assault while attending college.

- The Journal of Sex Research (2017)
Among college-age perpetrators of abuse, approximately 25% perpetrate physical aggression (e.g. punching, slapping and shoving/push-ing), 80% perpetrate psychological aggression (e.g. threats of violence and derogatory comments) and 20% perpetrate sexual aggression.

- Drug & Alcohol Review (2017)
Physical violence has been found in up to 45% of college relationships, sexual violence in up to 20%, and psychological/emotional violence in up to 80%

- Behavioral Sciences (2020)
More than 3.5 million college students experience dating violence before graduation.

 - Journal of American College Health (2018)
Among college-age youth, 45% of the gay males, 57% of bisexual males, 44% of lesbians, and 38% of bisexual females have experienced abuse.

-  Child & Adolescent Social Work Journal (2017)
An estimated 7% of men and 21% of women report experiencing a completed sexual assault since entering college.

Regional Campus Safety Summits

Jana’s Campaign hosts regional and affordable conferences designed to educate college and university administrators, faculty, staff, and students on the important issues of preventing and responding to sexual assault, relationship violence, and stalking. These Summits host national experts and regional practitioners while encouraging the sharing of best practices among participants. 

Individuals who most benefit from these summits include: Title IX officers, college/university legal representatives, public and campus safety officers, residential life and student affairs personnel, athletic directors, women’s center staff, student leaders, health and counseling professionals, and other campus and community representatives interested in campus safety. 

Thanks to partnerships with corporate and foundation sponsors, Jana's Campaign is able to keep these two-day regional Summit registration fees extremely affordable. Our rationale is to encourage campuses to send multi-disciplinary teams to attend, increasing the impact of the Summit on every campus represented. We are committed to hosting a wide range of regional campus safety representatives at every Summit while maintaining the highest quality conference of its kind.

Our Other Projects

Picture
The Campus Men’s Action Network (CMAN) is an organizational model developed by Jana’s Campaign that encourages college men to develop a campus coalition and actively engage in the work to end gender-based violence. To learn more about CMAN click here.

In partnership with the Women’s Leadership Project, Jana’s Campaign helps deliver the collegiate prevention program “The Red Flag Campaign” on the campus of Fort Hays State University every October. The Red Flag Campaign is a public awareness campaign designed to address dating violence and promote the prevention of dating violence on college campuses. The campaign was created using a “bystander intervention” strategy, encouraging friends and other campus community members to “say something” when they see warning signs (“red flags”) for dating violence in a friend’s relationship. The campaign posters reflect racially and ethnically diverse models, and illustrate both heterosexual and same-sex relationships. See the Red Flag Campaign here.

In honor and memory of Jana Lynne Mackey, the University of Kansas has established the “Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series.” In an effort to continue Jana’s important work, this lecture series was established to raise awareness about issues close to Jana’s heart, namely breaking down barriers and fostering opportunities to secure women’s rights leaders and experts with the dual purpose of enhancing understanding and calling for involvement and service while providing a platform for discussion and dialogue. To learn more about the lecture series, click here.
