A green dot is an action someone can take to stop a red dot from happening. Green dots are also actions someone can take to create a culture where red dots are not accepted.
Examples of Green Dots include:
A single red dot is an action that does harm. Enough single red dots add up and create a culture that allows unacceptable rates of sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.
Green Dot relies on the premise that if everyone does their small part and commits to individual responsibility, the combined effect is a safe campus culture that is intolerant of violence. Luther has not been immune to the impact and feelings associated with sexual violence on our campus but collectively, as a community, we can work together to improve upon our knowledge, skills, and resources to further address and prevent this harm.
