More than one in five women and 5 percent of men are sexually assaulted while at college. Some survivors are coming forward; others are not. In We Believe You, students from every kind of college and university-large and small, public and private, highly selective and less so-share experiences of trauma, healing, and everyday activism, representing a diversity of races, economic and family backgrounds, gender identities, immigration statuses, interests, capacities, and loves. Theirs is a bold, irrefutable sampling of voices and stories that should speak to all.
"One of the most important books of the year, written by two brave and fierce young activists against on-campus rape and sexual violence. . . . I want everyone to read this book."
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic
"Brave, unforgettable and incredibly important . . . . the statistics are dramatic, but the stories of the sexual assault survivors, told in their own words, are even more powerful."
