Enough is Enough, a national campaign against domestic violence, will host a week-long series of educational events throughout this week on campus, as well as other academic institutions across the country.

“… We have noticed some violent acts on college campuses,” Beth Riley, counselor and coordinator of Sexual Assault Programs at BU, said. “It’s [the week of events] a national program to call attention to Enough is Enough; we’ve had enough of violence.”

According to Riley, the purpose of the campaign is to show that when people come together and talk about their concerns, it increases tolerance and safety.

The week’s events are focused on specific violent issues, Riley said.

Members of An Empty Place at the Table, a project of the Women’s Resource Center of Lackawanna and Susquehanna counties that honors victims of domestic violence, will hold demonstrations Tuesday in the Tillman Lobby of the Old University Union and Thursday at the University Downtown Center. Their plan is to educate people on the impact of domestic violence not only on the individual, but on the community as a whole.

A number of national and local groups will focus on other areas of violence.

The Clothesline Project, a national organization set up by Real Education About College Health that acts as a vehicle for women to express their emotions about domestic violence, will decorate T-shirts and hang them on a clothesline around campus as a testimonial to the issue of violence against women.

Voices Against Violence will hold a Dating Violence Awareness event at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Lecture Hall 2, where groups such as The Vibes, The Crosbys and the Binghamton Ballroom Dance Team will provide entertainment. They will also hold a poetry slam at 9 p.m. Thursday at The Belmar Pub on Main Street.

“You’ll notice as you look through the events that there’s quite a collaboration of on- and off-campus organizations,” Riley said. “Enough is Enough is the catalyst to bring them all together … It’s community-wide — not just Binghamton, but also Greater Binghamton.”

In addition to attending the demonstrations at Enough is Enough week, students and residents can visit the Crime Victims Assistance Center on Robinson Street in Binghamton for education and counseling regarding cases of abuse in the Broome County area.

“We offer counseling, we accompany victims to emergency rooms, court, to police stations while they make reports … available to anyone, free of charge,” Raini Baudendistel, executive director for CVAC of the Greater Binghamton area said. “We do a lot of professional and community education … We’ve gotten groups of law enforcement and other community professionals [to talk] on the issues that surround [abuse], how to protect oneself and where to go if that’s happened to you.”

A full list of scheduled events for the week is available on B-Line. All events are free and open to BU students and staff.
