The rally, meant to educate students about sexual violence, was run through the Clothesline Project and funded by the Undergraduate Students Association Council.
Christina Chala, a graduate student in women's studies and former Clothesline Project chair, spoke about sexual violence in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and the importance of not stereotyping victims and aggressors by gender or sexual preference.
