Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Kavin Black" <>]

Claire:

I have heard of it but have not seen it.  I have however met with the
Director, Rel Dowell and we discussed his movie at length to see how it
could be used as and educational tool concerning sexual assault on
college campuses.  We also sent him to Prairie View A& M University to
provide a training to incoming first year students and athletes
regarding campus sexual assaults, cultural views concerning sexual
assault and other topics relating to violence against women.

Subject: "Train Ride" DVDHi Folks,
Has anyone viewed "Train Ride"? I just received a promo email and I've
never heard of it. It's a narrative film, a story about a drug-induced
gang rape at a HBCU.

Greetings Colleagues,

Last week when Julie Bezek posted an inquiry to this listserv about
where to purchase a screen for sexual assault hearings, I replied to
share what we use at UD.

Afterwards I received inquiries directly from others on the list who
were curious about how and why screens were used in hearings.  I
explained that we use a curtain that hangs in the middle of the room to
divide the accused person's side from the victim's side.  Use of a
curtain or screen allows the victim to be free from threat or
intimidation that might be imposed with body language or facial
expression.  It often makes victims feel more safe and comfortable
enough to move forward with the judicial process (instead of dropping
the case).  The accused person is still allowed to question the victim
and the victim answers.  

The accused person is allowed to have an advisor sitting with them and
the victim is allowed an advocate or support person (which can be a
friend, as long as the friend is not a witness in the case).  The
hearing officer and the charging party who presents the case are
positioned at the head of the room so they are in view of all parties.

To this explanation, one person responded:  "For the most part (and I
can think of exceptions) I'm thinking people need to face each other and
be strong and assertive in the presence of attempted intimidation.  You
look the accuser in the eye and see how little power he really has.
There is something about this that doesn't feel quite right - but I am
open to new ideas and will see what other people think."

So I thought that it might be interesting for both she and I to hear
what other people think.  I am curious how sexual assault hearings are
carried out on other campuses and what your perspectives are on use of a
screen or curtain.

Thanks,
Angela
