Intimate partner violence is prevalent among college-aged adults. According to the United States Department of Justice, 53% of all college students have reported experiencing abuse from a current or previous partner.

More than 75 Huskers pledged to speak out and stand up against sexual and relationship violence in the first of a three-day "Cover the Cruiser" initiative.

Organized by the University Police Department and the Association of Students of the University of Nebraska, the project encourages students, faculty and staff to sign a “Use Your Voice” pledge card and attach it to a police car. Each card signifies a commitment to help others and speak out against all forms of sexual violence.

The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is encouraging all Huskers to help prevent relationship violence and sexual assault by adopting a call to action that also identifies a new university initiative: Use Your Voice.

Led by Student Affairs, the initiative is designed to drive meaningful dialogue about the prevalence of sexual violence on university campuses, where one in four undergraduate women and one of every 10 students overall are sexually assaulted or raped.

Across campus and the Lincoln community, students, faculty and staff at Nebraska have access to a variety of resources to stay safe and supported in their day-to-day lives.
