The Carleton Policies against sexual misconduct provide one level of expectations for us, but we as students need to take it to the next level. This is pledge was created by students who wanted to take a stand against sexual violence. Sexual assault, rape, and other sexual misconduct is not OK and will not be tolerated here at Carleton, or anywhere.

1. I will establish meaningful consent with a partner before engaging in sexual activity.

2. I will interrupt conversations that promote a culture of sexual violence.

3. I will intervene when I see potentially dangerous situations.

4. I will have the courage to confront my peers when their judgment is impaired.

5. I will support survivors and help to create a survivor supportive environment.

6. I will recognize the power of my voice and my actions to prevent sexual violence.
