they receive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach ribbon has a meaning,\u201d she said. \u201cWhite stands for ally, green stands for stalking, teal stands for sexual assault, and purple stands for domestic violence. We\u2019re partnering with Jana\u2019s Campaign and Options by providing resources for students. We\u2019re basically trying to show the amount of survivors and victims we\u2019ve had here on campus, especially those who are allies for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Victims of these crimes rarely come forward or hesitate to speak up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMost of the time, people don\u2019t like the stigma,\u201d Sanchez said. \u201cThey don\u2019t like being recognized as a victim. We prefer to call them survivors instead, and that\u2019s the whole point of this fence, just so people can see, \u2018It\u2019s not just you! You\u2019re not alone, and we\u2019re here to stand up for you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanchez is confident that the Fence of Voices and the collaborative work her club has done will have an impact on Fort Hays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have both agencies who have been able to partner with us for the past few events,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have another workshop coming up in November, and we\u2019ve had students on our Instagram reach out and see how they can participate on our board. We don\u2019t actually have a board right now, but I\u2019ve seen [a] direct impact on students crying at the events or basically being happy and enjoying it as we\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you of someone you know if experiencing domestic or sexual violence, dial 911 or seek help at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.janascampaign.org\/\">https:\/\/www.janascampaign.org\/<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/help4abuse.org\/\">https:\/\/help4abuse.org\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By RORY MOORE Tiger Media Network Fort Hays State University\u2019s Social Work Club placed its Fence of Voices in the Quad on Wednesday to encourage&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":142,"featured_media":91374,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3397,3398,11],"tags":[16450,403,2846,15700,13238],"class_list":["post-91368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-area-news","category-campus-news","category-news","tag-fence-of-voices","tag-janas-campaign","tag-options","tag-rory-moore","tag-social-work-club"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/tigermedianet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Fence-1-of-8-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1533","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=91368"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":91379,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91368\/revisions\/91379"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/91374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=91368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=91368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tigermedianet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=91368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
