Hundreds of people convened on the National Mall on Thursday evening to protest rape allegations involving Cornell University. The demonstration, held near the Washington Monument, was part of a nationwide movement responding to a lawsuit filed in September.
The lawsuit, initiated by the victim identified as ‘Jane Doe,’ accuses the university and seven students of rape said to have occurred in 2024. In solidarity, rallies, vigils, and walkouts took place in various locations across the United States, emphasizing the need for action against sexual violence.
Organized under the campaign #StopSexualViolence: From the Frat House to the White House, the Washington D.C. gathering concluded with participants marching to the executive mansion. This coordinated effort highlighted the ongoing demand for accountability and change.
