"Recently, my daughter came home to visit from college, and we spent the day shopping at the Cordova Mall in Pensacola. As we were leaving the mall to walk to our car, she suddenly told me to stop and sit with her. I thought she was being a little over the top. We sat for a moment, and then she pointed out a man who had just exited the mall, saying he was following us. She went back inside and returned with a security guard to escort us to our car. At first, I thought she was being paranoid, but as we neared our car, I noticed the man standing just a few vehicles down, seemingly waiting for us. As soon as he saw us with the security guard, he quickly walked away in the opposite direction. I’m still amazed at how my daughter noticed all of this. I’m so grateful, as it gives me peace of mind knowing that when she’s at college, she’s capable of taking care of herself and staying safe."

DID YOU KNOW?

Statistics from colleges across the United States reveal that 26.4% of female students experience rape or sexual assault involving physical force, violence, or incapacitation, and 5.8% of students have been victims of stalking. While these figures are alarming, the actual numbers are likely much higher, as it's estimated that only 20% of such incidents are reported.

The Hunting Ground is a 2015 American documentary film about the incidence of sexual assault on college campuses in the United States and the reported failure of college administrations to deal with it adequately. Written and directed by Kirby Dick and produced by Amy Ziering
