From the Ted Talk by Jessica Ladd: The reporting system that sexual assault survivors want

Unscramble the Blue Letters


We created a website that actually does this and we launched it [...] in August, on two college campuses.

And we included a unique mcnihtag system where if Mike's first victim had come forward, saved her record, entered into the matching system and named Mike, and Mike's second victim had done the same thing a few months later, they would have matched and the veeirfid coatnct information of both survivors would have been sent to the authorities at the same time for investigation and flloow up.

If a system like this had existed for Hannah and her peers, it's more likely that they would have reported, that they would have been believed, and that Mike would have been keickd off cpmaus, gone to jail, or at least gotten the help that he ndeeed. And if we were able to stop repeat orenedffs like Mike after just their second assault following a match, survivors like Hannah would never even be assaulted in the first place. We could prevent 59 percent of sexual assaults just by stopping repeat perpetrators earlier on. And because we're creating a real deterrent to assault, for perhaps the first time, maybe the Mikes of the wrold would never even try to alsuast anyone.

Original Text


We created a website that actually does this and we launched it [...] in August, on two college campuses.

And we included a unique matching system where if Mike's first victim had come forward, saved her record, entered into the matching system and named Mike, and Mike's second victim had done the same thing a few months later, they would have matched and the verified contact information of both survivors would have been sent to the authorities at the same time for investigation and follow up.

If a system like this had existed for Hannah and her peers, it's more likely that they would have reported, that they would have been believed, and that Mike would have been kicked off campus, gone to jail, or at least gotten the help that he needed. And if we were able to stop repeat offenders like Mike after just their second assault following a match, survivors like Hannah would never even be assaulted in the first place. We could prevent 59 percent of sexual assaults just by stopping repeat perpetrators earlier on. And because we're creating a real deterrent to assault, for perhaps the first time, maybe the Mikes of the world would never even try to assault anyone.
