Jealousy, isolation, emotional abuse, stalking, possessiveness 鈥 these are just a few of the red flags that can lead to dating violence.
Recently, more than 800 red flags were installed throughout the 猎奇重口视频 State University campus to shed light on these warning signs.
The Sexual Violence Advocacy and Support Center (SVAS) set up the flags as part of the national .
This is the third year SVAS has brought the campaign to BSU.
The Red Flag Campaign uses a bystander-intervention strategy to address and prevent sexual assault, dating violence and talking, specifically on college campuses.
鈥淟ike all colleges, we are not immune to this issue. We want to be aware as a campus community and not only talk about this issue but also let people know we have supports in place, that 猎奇重口视频 cares and wants the campus community to be safe,鈥 said Christy Osborne, SVAS outreach coordinator.
Often when people witness red flags they don鈥檛 speak up, she said.
鈥淲hat happens between two people is not my business,鈥 is often the sentiment of bystanders.
Osborne said it鈥檚 important to be vocal because it could save a life.
鈥淭his really is a community approach. If you see something, you say something, don鈥檛 just let it slide,鈥 she said.
Students are encouraged to participate in the poster campaign. Those interested can reach out to the SVAS center to pick up a poster to decorate that carries the pledge, declaring that if you see something you will speak up.
