Jessica Persano of Ignite at UCLA is conducting research to identify barriers to accessing post-s*xual-assault care for UCLA students with disabilities. More research is needed to understand the experience of UC student survivors with disabilities who seek post-s*xual-assault services, how existing barriers can be reduced and what kinds of support survivors envision in their pursuit of healing and justice.

If you are a student at one of the University of California (UC) campuses and have experienced some type of s*xual abuse or unwanted s*xual experience while enrolled as a UC student, you may be eligible to participate. All research is survivor-centered and conducted by trained, trauma-informed researchers. All participants are compensated $50 for their time.

With Senate Bill 24, introduced in 2019, California became the first state to require its public universities to provide medication abortion on campus. By January 1, 2023, all University of California and California State University schools were required to provide on-site medication abortion services, but students overwhelmingly aren’t aware they have this access, due to a lack of publicity and awareness efforts on the part of the schools.

As medication abortion is at risk before SCOTUS, California may offer a cautionary tale for Massachusetts and New York.
