And until then we have women like Amanda Nguyen. Before she became a public voice for survivors, she protected her identity as “Jane Doe.” What she endured and what she discovered about the system would ultimately help change federal law. #SheShed

AMANDA NGUYEN
SURVIVOR • ADVOCATE • CHANGE MAKER
WHY SHE USED THE NAME
"JANE DOE"
After her 2013 sexual assault, Amanda Nguyen chose to have her rape kit filed under the name
"Jane Doe" to protect her privacy and keep her identity separate from a potential criminal case. Using a pseudonym helped shield her from further harm while she pursued justice and pushed for change.
HER COURAGE HELPED CREATE REAL CHANGE.
Amanda's advocacy led to the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act of 2016, establishing federal rights for survivors, including protections for their forensic evidence.

Before #AmandaNguyen became a TIME Woman of the Year, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, astronaut and internationally recognized civil rights advocate, she was #JaneDoe ~ a survivor fighting a system that failed her. She turned her own fight for justice into a fight for survivors everywhere ♥️ #SheShed

AMANDA NGUYEN
SURVIVOR • ADVOCATE • CHANGE MAKER
After being raped at Harvard in 2013, Amanda Nguyen faced not only trauma, but a system that failed survivors. Instead of staying silent, she turned her pain into purpose-
-exposing flaws, demanding
accountability, and changing the law for survivors everywhere.
THE HARVARD CASE A SYSTEM THAT FAILED HER
HAREADD
THE CORNELL CASE A DECADE LATER, THE SAME FAILURES In 2024, a Cornell student was assaulted at the Chi Phi fraternity house.
CORNELL
She faced a victim-blaming environment, a "voluntary intoxication loophole, and a complex Title IX process that led to suspensions and expulsions instead of criminal charges-raising the same concerns about how elite institutions handle sexual violence.
AMANDA NGUYEN'S STORY MATTERS BECAUSE IT REVEALS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM-THEN AND NOW.
Survivors should not have to fight institutions, evidence rules, and legal systems just to seek justice and accountability.

Working people pay taxes on every paycheck. Billionaires can build enormous fortunes largely through assets whose gains generally aren’t taxed until they’re sold. #SheShed

Believing that a small group of billionaires are suddenly working tirelessly for the benefit of the working class really does require a spectacular level of stupidity........

The words didn’t exist, but the harm did. In 1975, women at #CornellUniversity gave a name to what countless women had endured in silence. Naming #sexualharassment changed the conversation, strengthened protections, and gave women language to fight back. #SheShed #EEOC

The term
"sexual harassment" is only about 50 years old, having been coined in 1975 by a group of women at Cornell University.

Context
civil lawsuit that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by multiple Chi Phi fraternity members in October 2024.
Evidence & Investigation
Hurdles

Legal Action
Cornell's internal Title IX process resulted in:
• two expulsions
• two suspensions of at least two semesters
• one accused student having already graduated
• two students found not responsible for sexual misconduct.
Jane Doe filed a civil lawsuit in September 2026.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul appointed New York Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor. Cornell also agreed to an independent external review.
The
"Elite School
Culture" Pattern
The Cornell case has raised serious concerns about a persistent

Students and advocates say elite institutions often rely on internal disciplinary systems that lack transparency, can minimize accountability, and may not provide adequate support for survivors. The influence of Greck-life culture, close-knit social networks, and institutional reputation can create environments where misconduct is less likely to be reported or fully addressed. This case also highlights the ongoing gap between university disciplinary outcomes and criminal accountability: le…

Exactly right Ann and they seem to forget who brought them into the world….. #SheShed

One thing no one has explained is why women's rights should vary by state, while men keep the same rights across the entire country, no matter where they live.
Don't Americans have equal protection under the 14th Amendment?
Misogyny as policy treats women as "less than."
There is no law that controls a man's body.
Now do the same for women.
