 Safety is a fundamental civil right and sexual assault is a clear violation of that fundamental civil right. I have directed my administration to address this problem over the course of the next year and beyond. Since January, over 400 people, over 800 people... Over 1500 people have taken the pledge and signed on to the campaign. It's no secret that sexual assault is a serious problem in our schools and universities. It's so difficult to talk about sexual assault, so we don't. We just sweep it under the rug and it's important to call it by its name and describe what it is. The question is not, what was the victim doing? What was the victim wearing? Why was the victim even there? The question has to be, what can we do to stop it? What can I do to prevent it? It is on all of us. Administrators, coaches, students, all of us to prevent sexual violence. Everybody, everybody, everybody has an obligation to speak out. It's on you. It's on me. It's on all of us. It's about us as a Commonwealth saying that this act is entirely unacceptable to the way of life that we envision for ourselves and for everyone else in our community. I am determined to make Pennsylvania a shining example to the rest of the world as to what a committed citizenry can do to make our world better.
