The "Culture of Silence" is often used to describe an unspoken consensus among a group of people to not discuss or even acknowledge an issue, such as gender or racial discrimination among other injustices. Speaking out is key to breaking the "Culture of Silence" but it is not always that simple. Even when people speak out at institutions, they are often silenced. Unfortunately, deeply embedded patterns of discrimination against women in higher education happen all too frequently.

As the school year wraps up for summer, attention is being drawn to the issue of GBV on college campuses. GBV covers a wide range of misconduct—verbal and physical actions, sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape, among other forms.
