SARVA Student Perspectives Survey to Complete

Complete Survey for Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Activists (SARVA) of ASUW 

The Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Activists (SARVA) of the Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) is a student-run organization advocating for survivor justice on campus. SARVA is advocating to expand reporting options for survivors through Title IX to include informal resolution processes. An informal resolution process can take many forms, but in a broad sense is an action-oriented agreement written by the harmed party (survivor/victim), and voluntarily agreed to by the party who caused the harm.

Through this survey, SARVA is calling for UW students of all backgrounds to provide their perspectives on the reporting processes offered at UW for those who have experienced sexual or relationship violence, the gaps in those processes, and how they envision those gaps being addressed.
