Students carry weight of mattresses in silent protest


Sexual assault survivors and advocates carried mattresses covered in the accounts of their experiences with gender-based violence in a student-led demonstration Wednesday. The event was inspired by Emma Sulkowicz, a Columbia University student who lost her disciplinary case against the man she claimed raped her in a university dorm room two years ago.
