Follow us and @w4cindiana for updates on consent legislation!
Did you know Indiana doesn't have a definition of consent?! WHAAAAT?!
This is something @rimashahid and her team at @w4cindiana are working hard on changing this year.

Though El Tendedero/The Clothesline Indiana has come to an end, @w4cindiana and @ICESAHT will continue to work with state legislators to establish legislation defining consent. @IndyMaven has the scoop. indymaven.com/articles/india…
Sex without consent is STILL not a crime in Indiana. @StatehouseFile has the story. bit.ly/34AFcGG
So disappointed to report that the Interim Study Committee on Corrections and Criminal Code has decided NOT to recommend proposed legislation defining consent in the Indiana statute. bit.ly/2Fc7Oxd @w4cindiana @ICESAHT

Can’t wait until 1 p.m.!
What do we have in place in Indiana to protect those who’ve experienced sexual assault?

Transparency about sexual assaults has improved since the Jeanne Clery Act was signed into law in 1990. It requires colleges and universities to report crimes on campus. #accountability #transparency #sexualassault #consent
Amazingly rich panel of Hoosier experts on sexual assault on college campuses discussing the film “The Hunting Ground.” They say on campus, assaults are more prevalent during the start of fall semester and with freshmen.

Yesterday I attended the Women 4 Change event at the Statehouse. They were here to raise awareness to the drastically high rates of sexual violence against women in Indiana. I pledged to continue using my position in the Senate to create legislation to protect Hoosier women.
