Red Zone Resource Fair

The period from the beginning of the fall semester until Thanksgiving break sees a 50% increase in sexual assault cases on U.S. college campuses. In response, the WGRC hosts a resource fair that brings together campus and community organizations, helping students become aware of available resources.

Pizza Talks

This program uses pizza as a metaphor to discuss the importance of consent. We create a casual environment, provide pizza, and openly talk about the challenges of practicing consent. Our goal is to encourage safe and consensual experiences for students.

Period Party

To address period poverty, the WGRC distributes free period products around campus for students in need. This event is a fun way to help students ensure they have the necessary supplies for the day. We also encourage students to visit our office if they need additional products.

UH Goes Teal

This program serves as the Kick-off each April for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). The program includes a resource fair, information and resources on sexual assault support at UH, interactive activities, prizes, food and more. * During the month of April, participants are encouraged to wear Teal.

Take Back the Night

Take Back the Night began in the 1970s as a protest against the lack of safety for women walking alone at night. The WGRC will be reviving this event in April for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. While the event will be enjoyable, we aim to create an empowering experience for all attendees.

Denim Day

In 1992 in Italy, an 18-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by her driving instructor during her lesson. The instructor claimed it was consensual, and the case reached the Italian courts. The court stated that because the victim was wearing tight jeans, it implied she must have helped him remove them, thus claiming it was consensual sex. In solidarity with her and the numerous survivors who are victim-blamed for their assaults, we wear jeans in April.

COMPASS: Sexual Misconduct Response Training

COMPASS, previously known as Code Red Assist Training, is a day-long program (9AM - 5PM) offered by the WGRC’s Sexual Misconduct Support Services (SMSS) Program. This training is designed to equip staff and faculty with skills and knowledge to respond to disclosures of sexual misconduct in a compassionate and compliant way. Upon successful completion of the training, participants become COMPASS Navigators. Their  names will be added to the WGRC website, and  they will have a special placard to place on their office doors or work areas.
