Stevens Take Back the Night committee hosts “Red Zone” event

The “Red Zone” took place in Babbio Atrium on Tuesday, Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The event was hosted by Stevens’ Take Back the Night planning committee, with the purpose of educating the student body about the “Red Zone,” the time of year when sexual assault is most prevalent on college campuses, between the start of school and Thanksgiving.

At the event, students were educated about sexual assault, fed red colored food such as red velvet cupcakes, cookies, and watermelon, had various photo opportunities, and could learn about the different groups at Stevens that tackle the issue, such as the Take Back the Night committee and Lore-El Programs.

Those interested in advocating for women’s issues and reducing the stigma surrounding sexual assault are encouraged to get involved with Take Back the Night by contacting the President of the organization, Monica Razak, or visiting the committee’s DuckLink page.
