Sexual assault is very common in today's society. Riya gives examples from her personal experience of working with sexual assault survivors and talks about how we can empower survivors and the actions we can take moving forward to help prevent sexual assault from happening. Riya is a junior at Duke University studying Neuroscience and Linguistics. At Duke, she competes as an attorney on Duke's Mock Trial team, researches mantis shrimp visual systems, and serves as an editor for Neurogenesis, Duke's student-run neuroscience research journal. She also participated on DukeEngage Peru in 2016, where she designed a project to empower survivors of sexual violence, and became deeply interested in changing our contemporary culture of sexual assault. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
